7M-08 has a little umph
« on: July 12, 2003, 04:41:01 PM »
Just got back from shooting my Encore with my new 22" &m-08 barrel.  I had 140gn factory loads and my own loads with 140 gn. Nosler Bal.tips and 46gn of IMR 4350.  I have to say I was quite surprized.  :eek:  I figured it would be like a pop gun recoil wise  :gun4: . . . but it felt right up there with my Sako 7mm .  :biggun: As I thought about it, I imagine with the shorter length and light front end Encores would have pretty significant recoil.  Accuracy was ok for a 1st outing.  No washers, hanger bars etc...  and it shot 1.5" with some of the bullet holes almost touching.  I will load up some lighter loads tomorrow afternoon and see what happens.   :D
