    139gr CX loads for 7mm-08?

    I should apologize. I have never been on any forum of any kind before and somehow stumbled my way into this question unwittingly. I wrote out my answer and then it said that I had to be a member to push reply so I put in my email address…. I didn’t know that this conversation belonged to...

    I believe the person that decided to say that my opinion was invalid was the one who turned it into a different conversation…

    Or perhaps we could meet in the middle like this. Yes you can find a lot of people who say you can kill animals at lower velocity with monolithic bullets. I’m one of them. You could also find a lot of people out there that had bad experiences with monolithic bullets. You can read threads...

    139gr CX loads for 7mm-08?

    I think we’re gonna need a panel comprised of half physics professors and half rednecks that have shot a lot of stuff to settle this… 🤣 I’ve been to marriage counseling so I used words like “in my opinion” and “I believe” so that you guys wouldn’t be so offended 😉

    139gr CX loads for 7mm-08?

    Oh I’m sure you could…. You’re talking about necessary and I’m talking about optimal…. There’s no way that running those bullets at 3000 ft./s or above doesn’t do a better job at keep you in the middle of your acceptable impact velocity range… Anybody can shoot whatever they want and they’re...

    Hey, I like how it works in theory also; in practice, it didn’t work out quite like that for me… shot placement was absolutely perfect. Bullet failed to do as it was advertised … 2000 ft./s and 1300 foot pounds of energy is bottom of the barrel. And you’re talking about a max load out of that...

    I have also found monos like to be seated about as far off lands as you can get… are you restricted to this gun and the use of monolithic bullets?

    In my opinion, the 7MMO8 is not a good round to be shooting monolithic bullets through. You can and it’ll work fine at close ranges, but that round just doesn’t have enough speed to be pushing monos. I like to make sure they’re above 3000 ft./s. I loaded up 140 Barnes TSX is in My Wife seven MM...

    Bog Pod and Vortex Razor HD

    I know this is old but I totally agree with above comments. I love it for shooting where I hunt. The grass is chest high sometimes so an extra long tripod is very helpful for standing shots. However, the spotting adapter is terrible. At 1000 yards it only has about a half a mile of play in it…...
