7mm-08 Rem success on big game

[Kimber7man]

That sounds like a winner. According to GRT that's pretty spicy, but that's been my experience with Big Game on GRT as it doesn't have a lot of data points and lacks confident calibration for that powder. Can you please confirm your COL? If it's beyond 2.814, we'll see the pressure spike come down some.

I know she is a woman and a youth so 7mm-08 is perfect! trying to finish off these 120 sst so I can switch to the 120 nbt. My daughter’s first pronghorn. 1200 yard stock and 1 shot at 230 yards.

Update. 5 shot group with 120 NBT, R-P virgin brass, F210M, 50.0 Big Game. 2,972 fps average

Looking forward to this barrel settling in and maybe even seeing what my standard 140 accubond load does.

Didn’t see a pic of the target but I’ll assume it’s a good one.

Ain’t much that load won’t handle inside of 500 yards.

@Erussell01 We have had 3 exit this year, but never before that. The two antelope above and a whitetail doe in January all exited.
