CVA Optima Elite 7mm-08
« on: February 14, 2011, 01:46:58 PM »
Got a 7mm-08 barrel on the way from CVA for my OE and was wondering what factory loads you have tried that were accurate in your OE 7mm-08. It has to be factory because I dont reload. Its the SS barrel in standard contour. Im hoping to get at least minute of angle.

I used the Winchester 140 grain gray box SuperX. I think they shot ok, but that was in a 22" Scout. I had a bit of a time with the breeching lever being a little tight with those rounds though.

Only factory ammo I could find locally was Hornady Superformance 139 grain and they grouped at about 6 M.O.A. Unacceptable!
Went to a local expert reloader and tried his 120 grain Ballistic tips and they shot M.O.A. I'll still be looking for factory ammo to try as more becomes available locally.
