7mm-08 Factory Loads
« on: August 07, 2009, 06:13:19 AM »
I'm most likely going to be sending the frame in for a 7mm-08 barrel here soon if I can unload my .223 barrel or stumble upon some cash (doesn't happen very often for me!).  I have thought about a good barrel to deer hunt with for a long time, and I think I've settled on 7mm-08.  Seems like a good caliber that will do fine on deer out to about 200 yds and not make me black and blue at the end of a range session.  I'm not a handloader...yet...so I was wondering what factory loads are shooting well in your 7mm-08 handi's? 

Thanks guys!

By the way, ya made a great choice on a deer cartridge.  There are several that are as good, but I don't think any are better.  It'll reach out farther than 200 yards too. ;)  Each barrel is different in likes and dislikes, try some different factory loads till ya find the one that shoots well.  DP
