RE: BLR Caliber
James,
Help me out on this. I like the 7mm-08. It sounds like a good improvement to the 308 in the areas of trajectory and recoil. I keep reading about it and going back to it my only concern is that it is only loaded in 140 grain bullets. I'd at least like the option of a 150 grn. I know that the round has taken elk, moose, etc,. I'm looking for a round that can hit elk and deer at 300 - 350 yds. If it can take those it will be fine for antelope. I would also want it to be dependable for black bear. Maybe it's just my thought process, but I have a mental block being that it is only available in the 140 grain. I would use premium bullets for Elk and bear, but I should any way. Would I have to for deer as well?
If you can get me past my mental block this round might be the answer.
