A friend has a 700 in 308 that he wants to send to the plumber. He already has a Fieldcraft in 6.5CM. Is the 7mm-08 a good option in the 700 for fast twist and long skinny bullets? Thanks!

It's not ideal with the factory mag box.

You really need to go AICS if you want to shoot slippery bullets 162 grain and above and be near the lands

So if my buddy considers 400 yards a long shot on an elk, I’m guessing the 180gr eld should perform well at that distance and speed. Thanks for the info.
