7mm Barnes
I have been loading 150 TSX and 150 TTSX for 10+ years for my 7mm-08s (700 Rem, Brng A Bolt and a new Brng X Bolt), fortunately they all like them with a pet load of H380. They also liked them over IMR4350. I found all to like loads above middle and below max. Not sure if Barnes list H380, so...- Fireman13

Barnes copper bullets?
The Barnes bullet expand on almost everything they hit from low to high velocities. Some people identify small holes in game as bullets that don't expand, but it is usually because the retain their shape and don't bounce around a lot. Consistent expansion, full mass retention and full exist is...- Fireman13

7mm Rem Mag Bullet Recommendation for Weatherby Vanguard 26" 1-9 1/2 twist
I use Barnes in my 7mm-08s and love them. I have not yet found a load that will group better than .75MOA, but did get some good results. I finally found the 160 Sierra Game Kings with a moderate charge of 7828 that gave me .56MOA groups. This was out of a very similar Weatherby Vanguard as you...- Fireman13

Help with 7mm-08 Hammer load…
I have had outstanding results with Barnes 140, 150 and 160s using H380 at weights slightly above the middle of the Barnes reloader book. This is shot out of a Rem 700, A Bolt and an X bolt. I can give more details if requested.- Fireman13

7mm-08 ttsx 150gr
This is an answer to an old post, I know, but wanted to make sure anyone reading this will see some tried and tested info. I have been shooting the 150gr TSX and TTSX from three different 7mm-08 rifles (Rem 700, Browning A bolt and Browning X bolt) over the last 10+ years. I reloaded and have...- Fireman13

New rifle for deer
I am surprised no one has recommended the 7mm-08 to you. It is arguably more effective than the .308 and barely kicks more than the .243. I have three of them and both of my 28 year old kids shoot them as do I. Ammo is pretty widely available in normal times and they are awesome deer guns with... -

7mm-08 not just for kids and women…
I couldn't agree more. I started with 30-06, them 7mm Rem Mag, .243 and then a 7mm-08. Still have the others and still shoot the 7mm Rem Mag for elk, but the 7mm-08 is the go to for everything else. I have three now, one Rem 700 (son's rifle and an A Bolt, daughter's rifle. I just bought an X... -

Talley One Piece Aluminum Rings/Bases
Just ordered a set for my x bolt and 4 x 14 x 40 Vortex with 1" tube. Researched way too long and determined the lows will work for me. I have read nothing but good about them and it keeps the weight down on my already light 7mm-08, Hells Canyon setup. I will let you know if my calcs were... -

Talley Lightweight Ring/Mount System Base Torque Spec.
Watched a gunsmith doing this mount on Youtube and followed up with some additional research. All say 17-20 in. lbs for Talley lightweight on both top and base mount. Suggest using blue locktite on base, but not the upper ring screws. Talley also says no lapping. My Talley lightwieghts are on... -

New from South Carolina
Found Randy on Youtube while quarantining with COVID for two weeks. Loved his straight forward approach with some awesome humor. Ran across this forum when looking for some advice on a new scope for my X Bolt. Seems like some pretty normal and informed hunters hanging around here, so decided to... -

Browning X Bolt
I bought a X Bolt, Hells Canyon in 7mm-08 this year to replace the A Bolt I gave my daughter. The A bolt shot my reloads to .78MOA constantly and I was worried about getting similar results from the X Bolt. Using the same ammo (150gr. Barnes) it grouped .56 MOA at 100 yards before even being...
