7mm08 appreciation thread

[7mm Rem Mag]

As it seems the latest trend is to throw anything this calibre off the nearest bridge I thought I'd bring abit of positivity back into the world of 7mm08s, as they are here to stay in my opinion, well atleast mine will be until I die!

Thought we could all post up some photos or even stories involving them,

Here's mine, a humble Remington 700 mountain rifle ss, purchased over 10 years ago, ran it no suppressor for approx the next 6, as didn't see the need for anything silly off the end. Then I decided to cut it to 18inch and suppress. Was one of the best things I've ever done in general. Tell you what, I asked all the animals I shot with it, and none of them came back and said I wish the barrel was longer!

I now reload for it, in the past have used, ppu 120gr hollow, deer season xp, hornady gmx superperformance, federal blue box, Remington coreloc and probably many others. All had similar results.

And here it is with my favourite animal to chase. Tahr from Baker creek, I have shot many animals with this rifle but this is one fond memory I'd like to share
