7mm-08 Rem success on big game

[Pharmseller]

I’ll have to take a look at my notes when I get back to them. I know I loaded it a tad slower to help with recoil, she’s not a very big person.

Last thing I want her to do is develop a flinch because the rifle is punishing her. Accuracy trumps magnum everyday!

I like your style, dad.

My dad hand loaded my wife a 120 ttsx at 2550 and it doesnt even move her. That lower recoil makes for great control and 0 fear of the gun. She is excited to practice

Update, range today. 70 degrees no wind. labradar 20 shot string with barrel cooling. Average 2804 fps. average group 3 shot 1.125 average. 150 gr Rem PSP core lokt. 45 gr. H___ . Pretty good for a Browning Hells canyon speed. Straight production gun. I'm sure I can find a bullet it likes and close that up some. It will definatley hunt.

Took my (13 year old) son out one last time to make sure he was ready for his mule deer hunt that starts Saturday. Hornady custom lite 120 sst reduced recoil loads. Barely any recoil at all. 2750 fps average sighted in at 250 yards with 20" barrel. Basically good to hold dead on from 0-300 yards and first bubble in the scope is 350 yards. I'll probably keep him under 300 though. I'll add the picture here if he is lucky enough to harvest. Love the 7mm-08 Remington!
