    Just been looking online, not much factory 7mm08 around but there is some. If you were not going with that calibre what would you go with other than a cream puff. Not getting a man bun for anyone. But then I'm set on the 7mm anyway
    CBH Australia and louiannz like this.

    a set of reloading dies in the appropriate calibre and if you ever see a whackamole set in it GRAB IT QUICK..... you can buy 7mm cast projectiles,so as long as you have some primers and some powder you will be able to keep freezer fill. the single BIGGEST ISSUE with shortages is the continued percieved need for 5-600 of them thats a lot of HUNTING, even if out shooting wallabies every weekend it would last for some time,yip we used that many rounds of .22lr or shotgun each n every night on rabbits...but 7mm-08 you arent likely to be out doing pest control with it.... lots of cheaper effective options.
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    hi all, just joined forum today...big fan of 7mm08. they will be around long time....based on 308 so easy to get brass.
    do all my own reloading and happy to help anyone wanting loads built up. based Auckland so does not suit all on forum i know.
    trade rifles, collect wooden stock rimfires have plenty of gear and buy/sell a lot. have lots of brass for 7mm08 ( a lot of necked down 308). only run redding gear so yes a snob!!

    if you prefer 308 currently have brno 601, tikka T3 full overbarrel greystone sup and a Rem 783 all in 308 that are for sale. all come with a guarantee!! "you point it correctly and it will shoot straight!"
