A very good all around rifle. I need to cut back on the number of caliber that I reload for. I quit reloading for the 270 when I found the Federal Fusions. The 308 likes the fusions as well so I think I will hang those dies up as well. I about have to keep reloading for the 250 Savage as there just are not many loads available for it loaclly. Unless I really do a lot of Prairie dog hunting, shells for the 223 are about to cheap to do a lot of time consuming case preperation. I am shooting mostly Black Powder loads in the 45-70 so I will keep loading for that

OK I am junkie. I never met a caliber that I didn't want to try. However room in our apartment is getting limited. (Because the wife has to much junk), And I won't be doing as much hunting out of state and country in my older years So while I don't seam to be buying lesss guns, I am doing less reloading and expiermenting with loads, partly because I have already done a life time of it. I got into reloading in about 1970 and was hooked instantly.

Your right DD there is not much to not like about the 7MM-08. Look at what it will do for you have to feed it. Pretty efficient.
