STS45,
Excellent shooting.
I am very intrigued by the 7MM-08 Rem. It seems to perform like the 7x57. The 7x57 has been killing big game the world over for better than a hundred years. The 7MM-08 is a short-action whereas, I believe, the 7x57 needs a long action.
I firmly believe that the 7MM-08 Rem is be best big game cartridge to come down the pike since the .280 Rem.
There is magic in .284 caliber projectiles.
