Title: 7mm-08 dialed in with hunting load
Post by: C-Money on September 24, 2011, 05:03:09 PM: I finnaly had time to reload and get to the range yesterday and today. I got it close yesterday morning but did not have time to let the barrel cool any more to finish up cause I had to pick up my boy from school. I took the family to the range this morning and shot twice on a cold barrel and all looked well. The wife shot 3 rounds through it and did fine, this is her hunting rifle. My kids shot the Chipmunk .22 and we all had a great time! Here is the 100yard target from the 7mm-08.

Good group. What Mod. of gun and what was the load?

It is a Browning A-bolt. I settled in on 46gr of IMR 4350, with 140gr Nosler Partition. I worked the load from the Nosler manual.
