16” 7mm08

Anyone running one? Reason I am asking I am curious what your running for bullets?

Pretty much anything would work. One of the downsides of 7-08 is it’s a boring cartridge that almost everything works really well in….

I’m at 19” and have used 162 ELD-M and 150 ELD-X. I know a few others around here running similar in 18”.

Depending on the range you’re looking for, the 120/140 NBT might be good options to get decent velocity. Berger makes a 140gr if you wanna be fancy. Load them over Varget and go kill stuff.

So these are for my buddies son. They do not reload and ttsx just didn’t perform to expectations.

I run 140 accubonds out of my 08 but I reload. Precision hunter 150 eldx are locally available that was my second choice for a bullet for them. Is 2000fps the low end of expansion on those probably?

Hornady says 1800.
