A few questions about the 7mm-08, with a view toward using it for PRS-style competition:
- Can a 7mm-08 push, for instance, a 160 gr. bullet like Sierra's 160 gr tipped matchking (.600 BC, https://www.sierrabullets.com/store/product.cfm/sn/7660/284-dia-160-gr-Tipped-MatchKing-TMK)? Or perhaps even their 183 gr BTHP (.707 BC)?
- And if the round is able to push these heavier bullets at an acceptable velocity, might the 7mm-08 provide an alternative to the 6.5 Creedmor, whose match bullets hover between .53 BC.-.60 BC, depending on manufacturer?
Thanks in advance for any input you have.
