    7mm/08

    I have good luck with Speer 145 gr BTSP over 46 grains of IMR4350. 3 shots within an inch at 100 yds. Good performance on the deer I shot last fall. Hit him behind front shoulder. He ran about 30 yards before piling up. I have 120 and 140 BT's that I want to get loaded up and see how they...

    Case length question

    I've got nine cases trimmed to 2.025-2.026 inches, primed and ready to charge. Hopefully in the next day or two I'll charge them (IMR 4350) and seat Speer 145gr BTSP. The proof will be at the range. I appreciate the comments, and one of the things that sticks out for quality reloading is...

    Case length question

    I'm in the process of reloading some 7mm-08 rounds (first time reloading) and had a question regarding case length. According to the Speer Manual the Max case length is 2.035 and trim length is 2.025. How critical is it to be right at the trim lenght of 2.025? What would happen if I used a...

    Tikka T3 7mm-08 Range Report

    Good point abouts about overthinking this grouping and expecting better results from bargin ammo. This reinforces my feeling that better performance comes down to better quality ammo and more practice.

    Tikka T3 7mm-08 Range Report

    Thanks for all the comments....FWIW, I shot about 20 rounds when I went out the other day and waited at least 3-5 minutes between shots to avoid heating up the barrel too much. From the responses I got it, I need more practice, use better quality ammo, and better optics certainly won't hurt...

    Tikka T3 7mm-08 Range Report

    So far I really like it. Light weight, & handles well. Should be ideal northwoods Minnesota deer rifle. I have only shot about 30 rounds through it but. Trigger is really crisp and set about 3.5 lbs. My only regret was not getting the stainless version. I would also caution about getting...

    Tikka T3 7mm-08 Range Report

    I took the rifle out yesterday to get ready for the upcoming deer season. Scope is 2-7x Nikon ProStaff. The included picture is my final 3 shots. This is from 100 yds shooting Federal Power Shok (blue box) 150gr. I was satisfied with this grouping, as it is certainly minute of deer. I then...
