    Keep in mind the reduction in velocity does not mean you'll kill fewer animals.

    I got my 7mm08 cut to 16" and it's a great rifle with plenty of killing power for short - medium distance (300yd or so) and I have found a few loads that the rifle seems to like a lot.

    MV for the 139g interlock in front of AR2206H was 2700 fps as measured by chrono, but I am validating that with drops this weekend, assuming the forecast stays OK.
