Enjoying a 16 inch barreled 7mmsaum a lot these days, 3000fps with a 140 grainer and no problem busting targets out to 1000yrds with it. My 20 inch 7mm08 pushes the 140s at 2900 so the saum is an improvement there.

Petree had no problem with first round hits on rocks at 480yrds, his first ever shots with this rifle.





On a bit of a wander we found a flax snail, its live owner inside, I have found plenty of shells in the past but never with a live inhabitant.






At a heavier end of the scale I spent the weekend carrying my lightest 338Edge around and enjoyed the use of high BC projectiles making harvesting easier. The new Gen 2 Hybrid 300 grain Berger @ 2950fps works great on our thin skinned game and certainly irons out a few unforseen variables often encountered in hilly terrain.



But you DO need a decent Muzzle brake, thanks for that KiwiGreg, it works fantastic
