Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 7MM-08 for my first elk hunt?

Tried some other loads in my 7mm08 today. 22.5” barrel, I’d have to check on who made the barrel.
The factory E-tip chrono’d 2,770 last weekend.
Loaded some accubonds and Trophy bonded tipped over Big Game.
R-P virgin brass, Tula LRM primer.

Chrono was 10 feet from muzzle

140 grain Trophy Bonded Tipped
COAL = 2.814

46.5 Big Game
2858, 2855, 2839, 2849, 2843
M=2848, E=19, S=7

47.0 Big Game
2879, 2857, 2873
M=2869, E=22, S=11


140 grain Accubond
COAL = 2.818

46.5 Big Game
2834, 2829, 2845, 2858, 2862
M=2845, E=33, S=14

47.0 Big Game
2906, 2892, 2880
M=2892, S=26, E=13

Primers were great on all, easy bolt lift.

I’ll run ballistics and see how they compare, the accubond has a better BC than the TBT.
