Sighting in a 7mm-08 for the first time
Walmart usually has a few flavors of 7mm-08 hunting ammo. At your hunting distances you don’t need anything special or to even find the most accurate ammo in it, even if it’s a 3MOA combo it will work fine. Don’t be a heathen though and go properly zero the thing at 100 yards. A solid zero is...- Floridagt500

Low/mid grade over under
Cheap O/U’s are worse than cheap semi autos and you’ve already learned a hard lesson there. If you have a hard budget of $1K buy a quality used semi auto like an A400, M2, etc. If you can spend a little more and are set on a O/U look for a used 686 or Citori. Those are the “cheap” O/U’s worth...- Floridagt500

Looking for suggestions on a new caliber
I like that it works so well with Varget on up to the heaviest bullets. It’s just such an easy and consistent powder to work with compared to H4350 and the other powders that work best with the creed. You can make Varget work with them but it’s not ideal. It’s 6.5x47 is also just such an easy...- Floridagt500

Looking for suggestions on a new caliber
Seems you have trouble making up your mind whether to hate it or not since you’ve now said you do and you don’t, and whether it has advantages over the 260 when you said it doesn’t but then you acknowledge it does at least when mag fed. Seems you don’t have a clue but you seem to suggest I’m...- Floridagt500

I don’t get it. If you have something that works and don’t see a point in changing that, fine, but being upset and hating something new that is enhanced and is indeed better is just ridiculous. 260 was new at one time too (just over 30 years ago commercially) and is not a bad cartridge today...- Floridagt500

Looking for suggestions on a new caliber
You’ve read… got it… so you have no actual real world experience and you’ve read some BS. The 6.5 Creedmoor was not designed to fit in a AR10 magazine, it was designed as a long range short action target round. Gas guns had nothing to do with its development at the time. Straighter case walled...- Floridagt500

Looking for suggestions on a new caliber
I’ve lurked here for a while, but I just finally joined to say how interesting I find it that someone who has a 7-08AI and likely chose it over a standard 7-08 has a hard time understanding the benefits of a 6.5CM over a 260. Nevermind the better case design or the SAAMI specs that...- Floridagt500
