Well, yesterday it wasn't too bad out so I did some shootin with my new Pro Hunter 7mm-08 barrel.

I worked up a few handloads for it, and here is how she did.



Load was: 140gr Nosler BT, over a max charge of IMR 4350, with Rem cases and WLR primers.

Shot #1 - this was first shot with handloads - previous zero was with 140gr Federal Fusions.

Shot #2 - Cranked 'er up a bit too far.

Shot #3 - Right about where I wanted it. Did some tweakin on scope

Shot #4 - Musta moved when I shot. Didn't go to where it was supposed to.

Shot 5-7 - Shot a group finally. As you can see, gun shoots very well .243" group.

One thing I noticed. My Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 has a tendency not to move to desired location. Clicks are not 1/4", I'd say more like 1/2", not sure if this scope is going to stay on this rifle long. I think its time to upgrade to a Leupold once the funds allow.

Now once it quits snowing I have a few other loads worked up that I am going to try.

139gr Hornady SST
120gr Barnes TSX
140gr AccuBond
160gr AccuBond
