[QUOTE="Monttrap04, post: 1493547, member: 85796"] I have a couple 7mm-08s. One is my wifes Savage Axis that she wanted because it was pink...whatever. I found a 140 grain accubond load that it shot around an inch and stopped messing with it. Kills stuff dead just fine. The other has actually been pretty fun to work with. It is a little 16.25" Ruger Frontier that seems to shoot everything well. It shoots my wife's accubond load very well but turns out it LOVES the 120 BT. That stubby pipe has a hard time moving them very fast but for the ranges my kids hunt at it works just fine. No trouble to consistently print groups in the 3/8" to 3/4" range and sometimes better. My daughter killed an antelope with it this past weekend with a broadside 150 yard shot through the shoulders. I was watching another animal when she shot. I heard the whop but never saw anything that looked hit. Thought for a second it might have been the bullet hitting soft dirt. Walked over the rise and her goat had simply dropped at the shot and died. She shot a nice whitey and a 6 point bull last year with the same little rifle and a 140 accubond. Hopefully she can repeat that performance this year :) [ATTACH=full]107632[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107633[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107634[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107635[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107636[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107637[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107638[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
