Thread: 7mm.08 Club

I'm using 140 gr ballistic tips from a 22" barrel and a 3-12×50 dial scope zeroed for 100m. I've used the same for about 10 years.

This has enabled good success despite a lot of suboptimal shot placements.
I mostly shoot goats but have shot several deer and couple of pigs and it's good for them too of course.
I'm really surprised how much more effective it is than the 303using similar weight bullets and the same powder but a 2-7 scope. I think it's the ballistic tip bullets..

I've also used it in Gillie's field target shoots out to 600m with fair success.

COAL is 3.096in
BTO is 2.370 which gives me a 15thou jump

Your a bad man that's an awesome combo if I ever open up this kimbers magazine like I plan too I should get atleast 3 inches COAL. Otherwise maybe I should've brought a barret and called it good. Cousin's one is his do everything rifle in the states. Straight 7mm08 at 2550fps with its 1 in 8 and 3 inch magazine kill everything around really well. Plus then I only need to stock up on 180 eld Ms. Anyone worked up a 155 Tlr load for the 7mm yet? I think they would suit cartridges like the 7Saum etc better as they are very long but with enough powder they do seem to have great BC for weight provided they can be launched fast enough.
