Thread: 7mm08 loads and a short barrel

Iv had a play over the past couple days with 150eldx Iv found unless the the lrab is a stiff load it won’t shoot (I’ll revisit when it’s not my only going rifle) easy enough sub moa accuracy with eldx worst was just over an inch best was .610 I’d normally play further but I can hardly see the target behind the awfully thick reticle on the vx3hd and I’m no comp shooter so thought bugger it il load the .6 load and have a crack at my 4” 400yard plate I loaded 4 shot a peacock at 266 hit it but hit it low using hornady app first shot on gong was a clean miss no idea where it went gongs to small and was hanging on a fence into long grass used applied ballistics for the next shot which told me a .5 moa difference and went 2 from 2 im satisfied I can go hunting its also 100fps faster than the lrab and not seeing the signs on the brass like I was
