I was out to the range today with my 7MM-08. I chronographed some Winchester Ballistic Silvertips. I have a 22 inch barrel and these loads fell quite a bit short of the mark at 2617 FPS. They were however very accurate and uniform. I just shot a four shot group because it was pretty windy but they grouped in a nice group of just over an inch. These were 140 grain bullets. Thses should be alright for deer for this year but I should be able to increase the velocity a bit with hand loads. I would be happy with 2700 fps. My 7mm-08 is an NEF Handi rifle. It also shot the corlokt into just about 1 1/4 inch last time out. I don't recall if I chronographed them of noy. I stuck a Leupold 3x9 Rifleman scope on it for this year. I have had it on the shelf for better than a year.
