Thread: Kimber 7mm08 and 120 BTs

Kids were shooting the kimber last week killing some Thar out to 355 mtrs with no problems.

A mate runs the same projectile in his 7mm-08 where I’ve seen him drop some huge red stags with it.

Another good projectile is the 120 gr Speer.

I also used the Sierra 120s for a bit but i did not get really Wee groups with 2208, i havnt tried any other ammo an jus shot the pack i had for the better group it produced, i shot quite a few fallow with it an then shot some sambar hinds, quatering away lung shots, no exit but considerable damage, however i wouldnt tagret a sambar stag with it myself for incase the shoulder was hit, id want a little more insurance on it.

in saying this my kimber tends to like the heavier projectile range, 150 up.. ? got to test this theory a bit more but so far 139 an 140 also not great. shooter also not great


an in sayin this im yet to try the 120 BT which has a decent following in 7mm..
