tjhunt2 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 Hey DB after all the comments you have made towards me I Aint sayin a word Nice pig Oh Ya your right TJHUNT2 borrowed it for a Coues hunt once That brings back a few memories. It did the trick for me. My $.02 is it would do just fine except if you are shooting long distances across a canyon say 350 plus. Placement would have to be right on. I like the 270 choice alot better but then what do I know about long shots. Anything passed 30 yard is long for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GameHauler Report post Posted August 15, 2007 Any one set up to load a Hot load for the 7MM-08 If I could get a little extra Umph in it I would feel Good about having her use the .08 The gun just fits her so good I think we are better of with a little less gun, To gain comfort, which = shot placement.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 Mike, a hot load doesnt really make that much difference, especially if it is a unsafe load, and/or un accurate. you may gain about 100 FPS or so which, when shooting a 140 grain bullet isnt that much more "umph" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
