Thread: 7mm08 COAL Considerations

The lips on the regular Tikka plastic mags will spread eventually with use to the point where you can get mis-feeds due to the rounds titling. The CTR mags are better but stupid expensive.

Look for a second hand chassis, load to 2.8" with any 308 or Creedmoor based cartridge and you'll be laughing.

So for a hunting rifle, you have a heavy one. Which uses a magazine that constructs the 7mm08 case with the 162gr back to a true short action.
Without achieving what the OP was wanting.
Or have I missed something
