Posted By: Lawdwaz NOT A Creedmoor - 11/23/20
Shot a small 8pt yesterday right at closing time on our opening day. I had a slow day and due to the worsening of the covid around here and the uncertainties, I figured I'd take this buck. 200 yards with the LH NULA 7mm-08. The 120gr Nosler BT almost acted like it was shot out of a Creedmoor. smile

" not a CM. . ."

Are you absolutely certain?
Maybe someone behind you was
firing a CM and it hit your bullet in
flight, knocked it off course, then
resumed its travel after realigning
and killed the deer. Maybe. Possibly

Glad to see the crazy 7MM wildcat got it done smile

Meat in the freezer. Well done!

Hunting buddy just bought a RH Tikka T3 in 7-08. NOW... he's trying to find ammo for it... smile

Dead is dead.

I’ve drank the 6.5mm Kool aid. 😂, my other fave is the 7mm-08.

Congrats on buck!

If you'd used the Creedmoor the horns would be bigger. The Creed scares the horns outta 'em.

I found the bullet under the hide on the off side this morning while skinning him out. Weighs 75gr now......120gr Nosler BT

Once again, Steve Timm's baby strikes again!

I think that's pocket lint on the bullet along with blood.

Well done....

It'll do until you can get a Creed.... blush

I have both, find myself taking the 7-08 more than the Creed, both very nice rifles with custom barrels, both equally accurate, both 700's in Hunter's Edge stocks.

Both kill deer and hogs. The Creed even has a NF SHV scope, the 7-08 a Conquest.

The 7mm-08. The excellent cartridge getting the job done without fanfare...

Yep.

Almost as boringly efficient as the old '06.

Just keeps on keeping on...
