7mm08-308
From what I understand they're the same cartridge,the 7mm08 is necked down to .284,correct? So how come the heavyest wieght bullet i've found in factory ammo is 150g ?
My question is do any of you guys handload for the 7mm08? If so do you load with bullets heavier than what's availible from the factory?

The smaller the caliber, the less efficient it is, vs a larger caliber of the same case. Look at the RUM calibers, and its really evident. You could handload heavier bullets for the 7mm-08, but you will be making it into something its not. If you want to shoot the meatier bullets of 7mm, get the 7mm rem mag.

I curently have a vanguard in 7-08, its has knox stock and basix trigger, it shoots fairly good with 120 gr, 3/4 inc to 1 1/4 inch 5 shot groups, I want to get an aftermarket barrel installed as I want to try my hand at shooting long distance, like 600 yds. What would you all suggest I set the barrel up for 120, 140 or 160 gr boolits.
