yeah true, i have some 2206h too, but more 2208 so will stay with that- also have 213 which would prob work good in a longer barrel.. so 08 for the mid win.

if i was dialling i wouldnt be concerned for the speed, but without it and just standard shooting, i wont be utilising the projectile for its intended purpose but being fairly slow il treat it just as a fancy soft point at 2600fps say, it aught to do fairly well in the penetration and 'wound channel' department...

i am somewhat falling hard for the 7mm-08 as all round now i know how dialling and moa shit works, so i wouldnt be suprised if i do something like putting that Clicker scope on the Kimber and playing with 500meters.... i dont really see why i need a 7 Rem mag for that..........
