Just wondering if I'd be able to get the best of both worlds. Guess I'd be going backwards from the trend of every trying to get faster.

If you are looking to reduce recoil or extend barrel life you can look in the manuals for the lightest charge listed. Typically a faster burning powder with the min starting load will minimize recoil and velocities and perform similar to smaller capacity cartridges.

I'd liken downloading akin to driving your truck around town in 2 gears too high,lugging the schitt outta things. Can you do it? Yep. Are you gaining? Assuredly not.
As accuracy pursuits go,there's some constants,one of which is operating at or near a cartridge's full potential in regards to pressure. ES drops,consistency is realized and that gear selection bears the most fruit.
A guy is always gonna do his best with a chambering he can handle well and that means loaded at/near potential(to eek the inherent mechanical attributes associated) and that less a brake or other silly fanfare. Less,is simply so very often more.
Think bullets first,keep schitt real and never bullschitt yourself. A 243Win Today,trumps yesterday's '06 and most folks can't wrap their minds around such obvious notions.
Killing is easy.

7mm is the bullet, how fast to get it at game under 300 lbs. and what to ignite it with is the problem.

Thats the problem, its easy. What fun is that? Much rather "hunt" an animal who gets within 8 yards of you, and every move you make is critical.

Either way, a person has a choice. God bless em all and glad I live in a country where a person can "hunt" with a selfbow they made themselves, or snipe a animal at 1400 yards.

That's why I ax first...Most of the answers on this site are regurgitated Field & Stream and Saturday morning T.V. rub out material. I'd rather not know what I don't know than guess what I don't know.

It's a pain how the mods erase his stuff. If it's vulgar, then just erase that part. I've followed some of his other threads and it's like reading a book with half the pages ripped out. Anyway, I think he knows his schit, and their are some people jealous of his knowledge. The abrasive stuff is just the way some people are. Unless you know a mans story, you have no right to judge him.....
Enough of the mushy crap, I'm just trying to buy a new gun.....

The forum rules are pretty clear. Larry cannot help but act like a complete juvenile, half of his stuff is decent advice and the other half the most insulting and juvenile crap on the board. Every other post is an insult directly at someone. He's had ample opportunity to learn (and a grown man shouldn't have to).

You can try loading down near minimum loads but it still won't be a 7mm08. It is hard to run a cartridge that light, would you shoot it too much to buy factory Managed Recoil loads? That's probably the best way to do it.

As for the holier than thou........I'm bored with that too.
Mods, lock this mutha f'er.......
