[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1362839, member: 79865"] I am shooting a 150gr Nosler ABLR out of my 7mm-08 at 2750fps for my hunting load. I also tried the 162gr ELD-X. I know the 150's will make 1000 yards on paper, and according to the Shooter app, should still be running 1400ish fps. The 162's would definitely do it, especially if you can load them longer than my factory mag length (2.825"). I didn't notice any stability issues with either bullet out to 400 yards on paper with the Remington factory 9.25" twist barrel; accuracy is about 1.25 MOA, which sadly is as good as this barrel has ever done, tool marks and all. I don't think you need the heavier bullets to get to a grand on paper. Start with the 150-162 class and start shooting. I think 600ish is as far as I will ever consider shooting game with this rig, and I try to keep it inside 400 at this point due to the accuracy issues. [/QUOTE]
