Happy 7-8 Day!

[Mr. Zorg]

I didn't see anyone else posting this, so my 7mm-08 rifle and I welcome others to celebrate today!

Seems like a good place to leave this (seriously, though, why are 7mm-08/7x57/280AI fans the same people?)

 

[Mr. Zorg]

I'm a 7mm-08 & 7X64mm Brenneke guy WRT 7mm cartridges. But there isn't a 7-64 day.

I have a Kimber classic model 84m in 7mm-08. I bought it for my daughter to hunt with me, when she thought it would be a good way for us to spend time together. She didn’t really care about hunting or shooting, so I started using it. With good 140 grain bullets, it kills deer like lightning striking. I have killed several deer with it and never had one to go more than a few steps, most drop in their tracks. The 7mm bullets are just magic. I am not sure if it’s the caliber that’s so good or if it’s the fact, they are so easy to shoot. It just works and works well on game. I would say it’s a much better deer round than the 243 and just as easy on the shooter. 7mm-08 is one of the best.

I love shooting 7mm-08 power loads from my 7mm rem mag does that count

I love the 7mm-08 had one in a BLR and sold it to a friend for his daughter to use. Great rifle.

Sure! Why not, in the spirit and de facto concept of inclusion?

Which 140 grain bullets have you found to be the most effective for deer? I haven't hunted with my 7mm-08 yet, I've been using my .25-06 (same recoil level) but I got a 7mm-08 with a shorter 22 inch barrel for a better brush gun.
