Thread: 7mm08 and 162 Eld Ms

I'm shooting 162gr ELD-M out of my Kimber 16" barreled 7mm-08. Stopped at 43 grains of CFE223 when accuracy looked good. Doing 2600fps. Shot a Red at 270m a few weeks ago, got 20m. Most have been bang flops, nothing gone more than 20-30m.

Tempted to cut mine but to be fair I'm happy at 22 inchs. I just worked up a load at 40.2grains of varget doing 2600 with an es of 4. 3 the same and one shot 3fps lower and one 3fps higher.
