[QUOTE="angus1336, post: 1071445, member: 89889"] Looking for a great reload to hunt whitetails. Looking to shoot up to 700 yards with a Savage model 110 .308. I recently started seeing a young mans mother and got the chance to bring him hunting on PA's past whitetail hunt. Rifle season was a bust for him, but was able to help him harvest a nice 6 point in late muzzleloader. Long story short, my hunting ground holds a few opportunities for long range shooting. During that time, he carried my 7mm STW and my fathers .338. We do our own reloading but do not have any good rounds or idea where to start with his. It was his fathers gun and wants to carry build it to shoot longer range. Closest thing I got to building a round for him, would start with my 7mm-08. which is a Remington model 7, 150 gr. Nosler ballistic and Hodgdens H380 at 44.5 gr pushing it. I guess what I'm asking is........ Does anyone have a good load to try that is not eating up casings, carrying some velocity and is still a good whitetail round. I looking for something that will be good for 0 - 700 yards. Would like to stay around the 150 gr. bullet........ Any help would be great [/QUOTE]
