Frequently Asked Questions
Remington 700 .7mm-08 REM
What is a 7mm-08 Remington good for?
The 7mm-08 Remington is well-suited for hunting deer, pronghorn, caribou, and black bear. It offers flat trajectories, good terminal performance, and mild recoil, making it practical for hunters of smaller stature or those sensitive to recoil. It can stretch to elk at moderate ranges.
What caliber is 7mm-08 equal to?
7mm-08 Remington fires a .284-inch diameter bullet, making it equivalent to 7mm caliber. It is a .308 Winchester case necked down to accept 7mm bullets, offering slightly flatter trajectory and less recoil than its parent cartridge.
What kicks harder, 243 or 7mm08?
The 7mm-08 kicks harder. A typical 140-grain 7mm-08 load generates about 18 foot-pounds of recoil energy, while a 100-grain .243 Winchester produces roughly 14 foot-pounds. The difference is noticeable but manageable, and perceived recoil varies with rifle weight and shooter sensitivity.
What is the most accurate bullet for 7mm-08?
Accuracy varies by rifle, but 140-grain bullets tend to perform best in 7mm-08. Popular options include the Nosler Accubond, Hornady BTHP, and Sierra GameKing. The 120-grain Barnes TTSX also shoots well in many rifles. Testing several loads in your specific barrel is the only reliable way to determine peak accuracy.
How much does a 7mm08 drop at 300 yards?
A 7mm-08 drops roughly 12–13 inches at 300 yards when zeroed at 100 yards. With a 200-yard zero, drop at 300 yards is closer to 7–8 inches. Exact figures vary by bullet weight, velocity, and ballistic coefficient.
