I don't own a 7mm-08, but would love to. I do have a hand me down Rem 700 in Rem. 7mm Mag that is a tack driver. This firearm with 180 grain Corelokt was devistating on NH Moose, but way overkill on 150 -200 lb DW deer. No expansion... I know I should be using 140-150g on deer.
However I see from watching alot of hunting videos and reading other posts, that the 7-08 is the perfect cartridge to be using on deer. I see that the Rem. 7mag managed recoil ammo has very similar velocities with the 7-08.
Has anyone used this ammo to take game, and what were the results?
Can anyone supply me with some reloading data Bullet/Powder combo for turning the 7mag to 7-08 out of my Rem 700.. incase I decide to load my own or have someone do it for me.
thanks..
I've heard alot of good things about the Winchester 150g Silvertips at these velocities.
