man , why dont you go on out to 400 yards ,were it retains what it can do,unlike the others,and go on out to the 500 yard mark.im dieing to know if it dosent.

RE: browning a-bolt
 

acctually it starts at 300. were the others drop off..its my favorite caliber and fun to shoot.

RE: browning a-bolt
 

Interesting that you decide to bring up that point now. The 7mm-08 has one beat at 400, and beats the 308 and is less than a 30-06 at 500. But certainly nothing to right home about. Even when it beats the 308, at 500, it isn't by much. And quite frankly if I was going to shoot at anything at 500 yards, which I'm not, the 7mm-08 would be way down on my list of choices if it was even on the list at all.

RE: browning a-bolt
 

So using that theory,I assume that you could easily beat the groups below that were fired with a 300ultramag with much more recoil.

RE: browning a-bolt
 

it beats em both,and its on top of alot of choice for alot of people...dont be a hater to the 7mm-08 ,it bad and it knows it..

RE: browning a-bolt
 

no im not saying its the most accurate,you can hold it easier cause less recoil ,which would make it easier to shoot,buy the way ,thats some nice shooting.. good job.

Must be 12 years old and discovered everything he has is the "best" [:'(]

I'm not even going to argue with him, we'll never be right! LOL

RE: browning a-bolt
 

im 36 years old ,been hunting since i was 12,own 300 acers in frankfort ky,and have 8 rifles and the 7mm-08 is just one of em,so i dont think you know me or what you are talking abot,and by the way it is the ballistic twin of the of the 270 and 280 with a little less recoil,all i am saying that it is a awsome round for a short action to be able to perform with long action rifles,and no one was arguing.

RE: browning a-bolt
 

Was never sayin it wasn't a good round. Just doesn't have more power than the 308 or 30-06. Till 400 or 500yards as you pointed out, which doesn't mean a thing as it wouldn't be my choice for a longe range rifle.

RE: browning a-bolt
 

While I like the 7mm-08 and have actually owned two myself,it is a little behind the 280 ballistically.
