Factory 7mm-08 load for boar and deer
« on: January 16, 2008, 05:35:48 AM »
I have a 15 inch encore in 7mm-08 and currently do not reload.  What factory loads are you using and what type of accuracy at 100 yards are you getting?  The reason for the question is a friend of mine that used to reload for me is going back to Iraq.  The ammo he loaded for me was able to get ~ 1 inch at 100 yards.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Mark

For factory stuff mine likes plain old Remington 140gr cor-lok  It will shoot 1" or under all day if I do my part.  I do want to try the Hornady Light magnum load to see how they do.

What type of accuracy are you getting with the Hornady 139 gr?
