You should try one shot groups, great for pencil barrels

I have decided this is going to be the best for all the aspects i worry about.
it will help with barrel life! it should stretch the powder can, it will keep price down on projectiles, i wont wear out the trigger sear and being a remington, it will kill everything with 1 shot.

thanks so much for this wise tip!

So... what caliber did you get the model 7 in ???

Gday Cole,
got this one in the .308 winchester !
it makes sense to have 2x308s (mine an partners) in the 30 cal , i sold my left hand Abolt 30-06 to a young keen lad for cheap, we sourced a magazine for it an sold him a fullfield scope for bugger all.... free'd up the space for this Model Seven.

ive been using a 7mm08 for a few years now and rekon the 308 sized case is spot on and proberly preferably a 180gr projie would be optimal - think Elk sized game... but will settle for whatever the gun likes as am confident with placing shots and or refusing shots these days.

my partners franchi is downloaded to 2400fps with 150gr hot cor - and im at 45gr (appx 2600fps) with 'her' bullets but i am confident her gun will accept the 165gr hot cors i have in good quantity... :p :D
i will try a load for the Seven with 165s though soon enough.

the stalk on the deer yesterday was perfect scenerio for this gun- an it performed awesome.
 
Any rifle that performs well enough to require sharp knives is "enough gun" with plenty of accuracy!
Sounds like you're having fun with the Seven!
Adjust the trigger for a clean, crisp pull to your liking (I like 3 lbs on my hunting rifles, as I can still feel even with light gloves on in colder weather) and you may find that your groups may shrink a little more.
 
Just watched your vid on YouTube, wicked nice place you've got there !!
If I were you, I would find or build replacement shooting table, that wobbly thing you're shooting off of is most likely causing your groups to be bigger than what they should be. I've had the same thing happen to me before. It's hard to beat a good sturdy bench that doesn't move when you shoot. 165gr bullets are really the optimum bullet weights for the .308 and the .30-06.
Awesome dude !!
