Well I recently purchased a Sako finnlight in 7mm/08. I plan to reload but start out with some Federal premium ammo. Was thinking 140-160 grain bullets, maybe Nosler. Not sure what is available? I saw some Barnes bullets on there ammo and it was more expensive than there ammo with the Nosler partition bullets.
This is my first 7mm/08, didn't exhist last time I went hunting. I have owned a 30/06, couple or 3 270's a 243, 222, 338 and a few 22's. I have a fixed power 6x Leupold scope, always wanted one since reading Jack Oconners articles in Outdoor life in my younger days. Only reason I didn't buy another 270 is that I wanted a short action rifle.
Anybody having good results and tight groups with the Federal premimum or recommend a good handload once I have some empty brass. I will mostly be hunting deer and maybe moose or elk. Thanks for any insight on this topic. Cheers Roscoe
