I am 65 years old and have used the 7mm08 for 35 years. It still only takes 2 shots to sight in. I brace the rifle on center and fire. Then, still braced, I move the scope to the bullet hole. My next shot, aimed at the center, is dead nuts.
Didn't like seeing you on the grass and dirt in the summer and on cardboard in the wet and cold dirt . Welcome . More fun cool Videos all the time. Randy
🙏🙏🙏 thank you
Legend Randy. 👍🇦🇺🇺🇸👍
Good man.
That was very good of you.
That was way awesome of you to send out that Matt! Way cool!
A little high at 100 yards is good because it will be dead nuts on at 200 and then a little low at 300
Soo true.. I notice that in my 7 08 too
yep. 2.5 inches high at 100 is dead nuts for me at 300 on my 25-06. it is such a deer slayer.
X 8790987878765googleplex
7mm-08 should shoot dead on at 200 the same as 100.. I know mine does
I put mine 1-1/2 " high at 100 and it zeros at 200 and is 2" low at 300 so no hold over .
I’ve sold all my hunting rifles except my browning 7mm-08. I use Remington 120 gr hollow points. Never had to track a deer. Great hunting round.
Great rifle & great bullet weight, I use Hornady SST or SST-M
When you make an adjustment on your scope, tap the turret to reset your adjustment so it can reset
You're showing our age. Nightforce, Vortex and many others are true tracking. I do have some "older" scopes that have gotten stuck though. I had a Weaver 36X fixed that wouldn't track and the factory fixed it. Old grease was the culprit according to the factory. I'm not sure what that means.
I always wounder why people did that
I have a number of Savage rifles and decided to get my son an Axis last year. It's been amazingly accurate. I love the 7mm-08 for it's versatility, relatively low recoil, and overall usefulness for medium and even large, non- dangerous game. The Hornady Superformance has performed equal to my handloads and shoots 3/4" groups @100 yds day in and day out.

Oorah that’s what I was thinking too...USMC 03 Fighting fifth 3/5
Semper Fi Gentlemen. I couldn’t help but notice that myself. There aren’t many people in the civilian world that know to do that, unless they are prior service or have been taught by prior service. 🤘🏽🍻

Outstanding! Oohrah!
German Infanterie has the same shooting rules. Greatings from Germany!
Love the 7mm-08. I have a plain Jane Ruger American as well. I shoot Hornady Full Boar ammo with 139 gr. GMX bullets. It shoots sub MOA in my particular rifle. Between my son and me, we have used it to take 6 deer in the past 3 seasons. Longest shot was about 170. Shortest was about 20. To me, the 7mm-8 is about the perfect deer load. Good trajectory (better than .308), plenty of killing power, and very moderate recoil. I bought it for him to use deer hunting, and I have found myself using it instead of my .30-06 whenever he is not hunting. Keep up the good work! You produce quality content. Merry Christmas from central Kentucky.
Love this caliber. I have the ruger american compact 7mm08 and it loves the hornady whitetail 139 grains
I bought the 7mm-08 compact for my GF. I love it and use it more than she does.
I shoot the same ammo
Love that little gun. That's what I use in the ground blind
All 7 mm.08 love 139 great American whitetail Hornady hands down
Same here. Best bullet out of my compact American.
Very good deer hunting round, well thought out, very good performance, would highly recommend this round to anyone.
You’re right, it’s a great cartridge that started out as a target cartridge in of all places Mexico.
Thanks to Randy for the shooting mat for Who Tee Who & Heavy Metal. It will help keep them out of the dirt. God bless Who Tee Who and family 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Definitely the Remington stuff looks like it might have potential , great video.
Been a 30-06 guy for 50 years and shot good white tails here in Maine and also Maine Moose. Plains game in Africa Barnes TSX bullet is my favorite. I have the itch for a 7mm-08 but will keep my “ real rifles “ just in case ;-) Keep up the great work Who Tee.
I tell people that a rifle is just like a guitar it has to be tuned.
True and for Americans gun shots are music too are ears. So yeah I guess it is like a guitar.
This "little" cartridge is so underrated and so perfect as a medium game hunting cartridge. It literally duplicates the ballistics of the old Mauser 7x57. That is a set of numbers that is so well proven that it's legendary. Buy a deer rifle and go elk hunting as long as you load a reasonable weight and reasonably constructed elk bullet in it. Too many elk going to the freezer with 7mm-08 these days to dismiss this one as just a "deer" hunting cartridges.
I agree. I think it is one of the best one gun cartridges that a person can own especially if hand loaded correctly. You can safely get 3300 fps from a 100gr HP which means you aim 4" high on a coyote at 400yds with a 100yd site in. You can also load a 150gr safely to 2800fps which will anchor anything at 200yds.
I've always been a firm believer that what you spend on the rifle, you need to spend the same on the scope. This has not failed me yet and good optics are just as important as a good gun.
I’ve always believed the minimum to spend on a scope is at the very least the price of the rifle to double the price of the rifle minimum
Optics are more important than the gun
Love my 7mm-08 as it’s a great rifle for beginner hunters as all my kids use it as have I and it typically drops them in their tracks. I shoot Remington Cor-lokt 140 grain with much success.
Bought a Tikka 7mm-08 last year. Kind of partial to Nosler and Barnes ammunition. Very accurate rifle and caliber. I have found that it prefers around 140 grain and not so much 120 grain ammo. My 140 Nosler ammo are all touching dead center at 100 yards once my scope is dialed in.
Tikka a true 1:9 twist savage runs 1:8.5 on the yote rifle
Federal hitter try cleaning it did u break in the barrel ? Shoot clean x20 times
sold the Tikka 7mm-08 during Covid cuz just couldn't find ammo. and bought the same rifle in 308. both are great calibers on a great rifle.
I started with 150 gr Hornady rounds in my 7mm Rem mag. 2" groups at 100 yds. Then tried 150 gr CorLokts with same results. Went to 175 gr CorLokt. Less than .75" group at 100 yds. Just gotta find what the rifle likes. Stay safe bud.
Same here, have a 7mm Rem Mag, 9.5 twist rate, heavier the bullets, the tighter the groups.
I have always read where it takes at least 200 rounds to get the best group out of a rifle. I would also check to make sure the barrel is actually free floating. I've notice on cheaper guns that the stock hitting the forend on the barrel. However, Ruger guarantees 1 MOA out of the box. Send it back!
Also wait 15 minutes between shots when checking for accuracy. Most times you never get more than 2 shots. Also I have a Remington 700 VLS .243 heavy barrel that I've tried about every round in it , and it shoots 100 grain Core-Lokts the best. I actually don't carry it due to its weight, but our foster daughter carries it and has taken a 5 deer with it at ranges from 100 to 220 yards.
Junk the factory ammo and run reload 139 gr hornady sst and work you a load up
That fun will shoot sub moa I own 2 of them in 7mm-08 and a rebarrel also
150 grain core lock in 30 30 for me when I catchem them deers they dont go 20
One thing I did notice about the shooting session, the front rest is at the very tip of the fore end. Try sliding the rifle up to and get the front rest up closer to the receiver and see if that helps. Having the rifle resting that close to the end or heaven forbid on the barrel itself can throw off the barrel harmonics. May help or may not, but it would be worth trying. Thanks and I really like the channel!
Thanks Tony
With the . 300 Savage that eventually became . 308 Winchester, we eventually ended up with an entire class of excellent short action deer cartridges. It does not require much power to take deer out to 400 yards as long as the bullet behaves properly upon getting there. The 7mm-08 just might represent the perfect deer cartridge if it could ever be proven that such a cartridge does indeed exist. Having all you need for your circumstances and rarely ever being excessive is what makes for a really useful deer cartridge.
I love my 7mm-08’s. I have a REM. Model 7 and I just received my Ruger American Go Wild Camo. I am preparing to mount up one of my new Vortex Viper scopes on it. I have been hunting with the Remington for almost 30 years. I have many different guns, in several different calibers, of several Brands, that I use, but the 7mm - 08 has been a mainstay! I prefer shooting Hornady Superformance 139gr. Interlock’s or SST’s! If the Superformance isn’t available ( I’ve kept a back stock of it for many years ) then I go with regular Hornady 139gr. Interlock’s. I have another Ruger headed to me now... a Ruger American Ranch in 6.5 Grendel. I’ll be shooting 123gr. Hornady Custom SST’s. I would consider checking the scope and mounts prior to selling the rifle short, and try some Hornady ammo, Superformance if you can find it, and see if things improve.
I would really like to know more about the Ruger American go wild camo because i belive it has a 1:8.5 twist, what ammo does it like best? Iv'e seen the 139gr GMX pushing 2910 fps and the Eldx 150gr going 2770 fps. If you have any experience using high BC ammo with it because I'm looking into purchacing one.
Yeah, I'm a fan of the 7mm-08 and have the Ruger American just like yours! Mine very much likes the Federal Fusion 140 grain. I sight in all my big game hunting rifles 3 inches high at 100 yards and my big game hunting handguns 3 inches high at 50 yards. This has served me well hunting here in Washington and Idaho for many years.
Great all-around caliber!
You are watching all the videos today! I am a new big fan of the 7mm08
7mm-08 is a deer killing machine!
🦌🦌🦌
I get a kick out of you saying I'm a big Ruger American fan if you didn't know that already every time I hear that it makes me laugh 😂
Look down the left side of your forend & make sure the barrel isn't contacting the stock ... My Ruger American 308 & my Ruger American 243 was touching on the left side ... I think those models had a defect in the mold ... Was a simple fix , I just had to remove the barrel , take a Dremel & fine sand down the stock where it was contacting the barrel ... Shoots super accurate now , those touching bullet holes each time if not actually shooting hole for hole ... I'm going to buy the 7mm-08 model too but I suspect I'll have to do the same to it as I had to do to the other ones ... Hope this helps you out brother....
Core lokts are the best ammunition made. JMO, been shooting them for 35 years always grouped well.
I agree, I've always had great luck with them
“Grouped well” is a matter of perspective, that might be 5 moa to one one person and 1/4 moa to another.
I'm new to the 7mm 08. I lean toward Hornady ammo.
Yep, if you find it, lol
@@mrdinme.4768 I hear you.
I have the same rifle with the stainless barrel and a cheap Bushnell 3-9x40 Trophy scope. It loves the Hornady 139gn Soft Points and H4350 powder. It gave me 1/2 to 3/4 MOA last summer when the core lokts and federal factory stuff were 1-2" groups. Makes it so much fun to shoot when you find what that rifle likes.
That's the same load I'm working on. Would you mind sharing the load you settled on?
Been shooting 7mike,mike-08 out of a model 7 for 30 years. It has always been one shot one kill. I was a contract hunter for deer management for three seasons. The combo of the model 7 and Leupold m8 fixed 6x in 7mm-08 is lite fast and just works. Thanks for the video I like your easygoing simple approach. God bless....
Thanks for watching Stanley! I love 7mm08!
Something you can try when it doesnt like a certain ammo is play with your action screw torque. A little looser on the rear screw sometimes makes a difference. Also if you're still low round count on the barrel it will continue to speed up until the round count is higher and the speed stabilizes. May be worth it to do a DIY bedding job on the recoil lug and action. Saw a huge improvement on one of my rifles after doing that
Thank you Who_Tee, you're the best! This perfectly illustrates why, when testing ammo, five or even ten shot groups are a must. Three shots are simply not enough of a sample size.
correct but its the first cold bore shot that count for hunting, you may get a better zero after 4 or 5 round but your target won't be there to dhoot
@@bigsean2473 True, of course. But we responsible hunters don't take that one, cold bore shot, until we find the right ammo... and to find the right ammo, often requires 10 cold bore shots, which produce a properly informative group. Cheers man, I think we're speaking the same language.
;-)
Check the action screws, they may not be torqued correctly.
Just a tip noticed you having your heels down make sure you do that every shot when sighting In and shooting groups. Noticed couple of flyers when you were moving your feet
Also looked like he had a different position for every shot. Still managed some viable groups though, so maybe it isn't quite so bad
Always want to take the human out of equation for sightingvin and groups. Definitely a great shot and always great video
Keep up the great videos!...i have been shooting a 7mm-08 now for about 2 years . I've shot my 7mm rem mag for years in my home state of Missouri harvesting some big deer. I have to say even for some big Missouri whitetails at ranges of 350 yards it is really potent and a very efficient cartridge. My pet load for all around use is handloaded nosler 140 grain partition with a loading of Imr 4350 powder and WLP PRIMER! I am able to actually at the gun club out shoot my buddies 308 "s and 6.5 creedmores ... not putting them down by no means they are great catridges also!
Have a 7mm-08 Kimber with a 3x9 trijicon and a 7mm-08 Ruger American with a vortex 2x7. The Ruger at less then half the cost is every bit as accurate as the Kimber. I was impressed.
The grain of the bullet and the speed it comes out of your specific twist rate makes the biggest impact on your groups. Find out if she want a slow heavy or a fast light bullet 👍
Just my personal experiences with that ammo any soft point ammo is great for hunting but not for getting sub MOA at 100yds. But I'd say both are plenty accurate enough for hunting at 100yds
I had the same problem with my Remington model 7 7mm-08 back in 2000. I went through 7 boxes of core-loks which I got at wally mart back in the day for 5.00 a box (miss printed on the price my reward). I then had to have the trigger worked on since I could not adjust it. The gunsmith glass bedded the stock plus worked on the feeding ramp. Afterwards, I another box which did sub 1" groups at 100. Now, the thing is a deer slaying machine. It has taken blacktails, whitetails and muleys. You have to be smooth when you chamber a round. Out of the box it would shoot the same way with 2" groups. The 7mm-08 is a great cartridge. The model 7 rifle is short and fast to use which is nice when you go through the brush. One guy commented to me once ahh that's such a cute rifle then he saw what it did to a deer. No more stupid comments. I would take a 7mm-08 over a creedmor any day of the week when it comes to deer hunting.
Now, I just use barnes lead free since in my state went lead free (barnes 120 gr. tipped tsx bt). Part of it sucks because I have not yet to find a bullet afterwards. I think the lead free stuff blows right through and do not mushroom right. Not sure...
I only used federal premiums nosler partitions up prior to hunting regulation changes. Dont use coreloks for deer! I have seen too much damage meat afterwards.
Now, I am TIKKA man. ! just picked up a superlite t3x for my son in a 300wsm from sportsman (christmas present).
Has the best balance of bullets and wieght s for deer and similar sized game. mine has never failed me not one time. hope to see more videos on this round. Thank you for letting me respond I don’t do this much
I went to Walmart the other day and looked at the ammo selection. There was one box of 7mm-08. That’s all. Not one single thing else.
I was there yesterday. All gone
My Walmart has nothing but 30-06, 25-06, and 30-30
@@chasesantiago3176 wow, around here .30-30 can't be found anywhere.
Hell mine ain't got squat
Same here, up until October they had some 300 win mag, 308, 350 legend, and 22 mag then october hit and they haven't had anything. I owe my wife a 300 win mag but she wants to wait to see how ammo goes (shes thinking about a cz528 or ruger ranch since we have plenty of 7.62×39)
I’ve always had pretty good luck with the Hornady 139 CX ammo. I’ve got a Weatherby Vanguard, same caliber. You’re right, some rifles can be a little more spoiled than others.
My Ruger American loves those 139g superformance CX rounds. My first year with it I took a nice buck at 218 yards and it dropped in it's tracks. I can't wait until rifle season next month, good luck to you this season.
@@joshp2542 Right back at you amigo! Be safe and shoot true! 😎
I have that same rifle and caliber. What I found is that I had to back off a bit on the powder charge. 140gr Hornady SST with 44 grains of H4350 and you'll be a happy camper.
Love the 7mm-08! I'm shooting hornady 139 grain SST.
the eld-x in 162gr are amazing
Did you let your barrel cool between groups?
Lol I'd imagine not.
An ex US Marine once told me “if she ain’t smokin’ she ain’t shootin”
@@jimmyjones2426 that was such a beautiful quote.
Aught 8 Oh8 Ruger has his preferences. Cool research going on.☝️👍
OK here is my continuing saga of my Remington model 7 CDL in 7mm-08. I had to send it back to Remington again in August. I could throw a rock left handed, glasses off and facing the sun more accurately than my rifle. I went through 6 different ammo manufacturers, all 140 or 150 grain, two scopes and two different sets of mounts, not even close unless a seven inch diameter is the new MOA. Remington sends a link to follow the repair process, told me the rifle needed a new barrel and waiting parts. October I get a letter telling me they are sending it back not repaired and told me that I need to find a reputable gunsmith, how about that after spending $800. So now the rifle is getting a new barrel and I’m having it bedded and will let you know how I make out. The rifle club I belong to keeps access to the 100 to 300 yard marks plowed of snow.
Seems like the more you shot the corelock the more accurate you shot. Thanks for the video.
I have a friend who’s 7-08 doesn’t like heavy grain bullets I think he uses 130 grainers
Just got a Savage Axis 7mm08 shooting the Norma 150 grain grouped really good can't wait to try it out on a deer
Been there done that brought the tee shirt... (actually a lot of ammo) I had a 7mm08 Tikka T3x, (now have a 7mm Rem mag for longer range hunting) excellent set up. Started with core lokt, inconsistent ammo, some motored out and some barely made it out of the barrel. Winchester supe X grouped 1/2 inch at 100 but spread rapidly at 200. Ended up shooting Hornady Superformance and it was consistent and very accurate. I sold the gun to a young guy and he uses Winchester Black Box which is tack driving for him. Sako ammo is also extremely consistent. Different barrels suit different ammo but spending a bit more on more primium factory ammo definitely pays dividends in my experience especially in the field.
My son has a model 7 in a 7 mm 08. He uses Federal Premium 140 grain Nosler partitions and they are extremely accurate and will drop a running deer at 200 yards with one shot. The Guns of dream to carry and very fast to get into action. It is great cartridge. Seems to have more power than you would actually think it has.
In my opinion the 7mm-08 is everything the 7x57mm Mauser should be. I am looking at buying one of these as a woods rifle. From what I've seen with Ruger American rifles across the board is they need a little bit of a break in. After you fire a few rounds through them, they do deliver as far as accuracy is concerned. A friend of mine has one and bought a Boyd's stock and Timeny trigger for it. He also smoothed out the bolt. It's a shooter too. It will shoot as well as any higher end rifle out there. I'll probably go that route myself.
My ruger American .270 likes the Federal Power Shok 130 grain. But for whatever reason it shoots the Herters 130 grain best. It will print little clover leafs at 100 yards.
That Core Lockt ammunition shoots lights out in my 30-06 but, my 308 doesn’t like it at all. Both rifles are the exact same model just different barrel lengths. Funny how some firearms like certain ammunition and don’t like others. I love the 7mm-08. It might be my next firearm purchase. Thanks for sharing.
Doesn't help you now as it is two years later but I have a TC Venture in 7mm-08 and I get 5/8" groups with the Hornady 139gr Superformance ammo. Over 1" with Federal ammo. On a side note, my first 7mm-08 (I love this cartridge) was a Savage 110 and it wouldn't shoot Federal and it really sucked trying to shoot anything over 140gr. I found out that the Savage had a 1 in 11 twist and that was no good. My TC loves to shoot and I have taken many animals with it out here in Idaho. It wasn't long before I started loading for it and have a good load worked up and my go-to is the 139gr Hornady SST bullet, crazy terminal performance.
My Remington Model 7,7mm-08 loves the Prvi Partizan, PSP BT, 140gr. So far have 7 one shot kills on deer. These days, can't find ammo from any manufacturer.
I have a Browning BLR in 7-08 and it shoots a 120 grain Barney’s TTSX in the .600. Love the rifle and the caliber.
I love when you say this will be a very fun video! Because it always is!
My Remington 700 (built when Remington still made good rifles) loves core lokt over any other factory ammo. It shoots one hole 5 shot groups all day with it.
They still make a great rifle , as long as you blueprint the action , replace the barrel ,replace the bolt, change the firing pin dia.and replace the trigger and change the stock, just my thoughts. Merry Christmas Everyone
Great round for deer and hog, my remington model 7- 7-08 short barrel mountain rifle shot tight 3/8 groups if I did my part for 3 rounds. A thing I did notice is they usually like a fouling shot.
WHO_TEE_WHO : if you like there is always bore sight in the scope if you are having trouble finding rounds
My Ruger 7mm-08 likes the Hornady American whitetail 139gr stuff
My brother took an elk with that setup last year
How bout bear hard cast bullets vs clay? 357, 44,10mm
Thanks for being a real kinda guy. Love yer channel. Go 7mm-08!
My Ruger predator doesn't like Fusioand... but it loves federal blue box for some reason. And oddly enough the best groups I have ever shot were with Aguilla FMJ.
Federal and Remington are owned by Vista Groups same as CCI and Speer and have the same regs for quality.
I'm a .270 disciple but I couldn't get the 7mm-08 out of my mind so I just bought a Tikka T3x in in 7mm-08 ballistic it's slower and drops more at distance but the less recoil and bigger bullet selection made in impossible to ignore so Hootie Hoo
I was, but I sold it. I had a Savage that I thought had accuracy issues.. I sent it back to Savage, they tested it for me and sent a 1" - 3 shot group back to me. I sent the scope back to Bushnell and they replaced the scope. No more accuracy issues. It did not like the 150gr Blue box you had, but did like the core-loc rounds, just like what you experienced. Try the Hornady 140gr rounds too. It will come down to Remington or Hornady.
Just bought a Savage axis 2 in 7mm 08. Scope was supposed to be mounted and bore sighted at factory. It was so loose I could turn the mounting screws with my fingers. Good to go now.👍👍
Awesome video WTW, as always. Great shooting man. I’d take the core loct hunting, if I were you. You definitely wanna have that confidence when you pull the trigger on that whitetail! 🤘🏽💪🏻
I use a 7x57 Mauser 66 with 175gr S&B Sierra game king. The extra bullet weight makes it more versatile and it would be good for fox right up to a 500kg blue bull, although dangerous game apart from leopard should be avoided. The penetration of the heavier longer bullets , higher SD , is excellent.
As a reloader I agree with the guy that said 139gr hornady american whitetails.
All though I hand load the hornady 139gr btsp👍
RoaR.
Check the rifle's bedding & if stock is touching the barrel WTW.
Bought a 7mm-08 Axis II but cannot find any ammo at all. That includes online. Glad you were to get your hands on some.
Yeah. Everythibg gone now
Often I shoot a 3 shot group then move crosshairs over to centre of that group from a rest of course. Then fine tune it.
I enjoy your videos keep em comin!
Hey WTW, last year I got a 16” Christensen Arms MPR. I was trying to get the most velocity I could so I went with 150g bullets. I just couldn’t get anything to group better than 1.5” at 100yards
After talking to some buddys they recommended shooting heavier bullets. 175g SMK shrunk my groups to .5 moa. I’m sure you know but sometimes the barrel just doesn’t like certain bullets. Anyways. Love the vids. Keep them coming.
Great little video WTW. I have a suggestion you might try. Not all scopes adjust like they are supposed too, even the high dollar ones. When you make an adjustment, say 8 clicks left. Run it back 8 clicks right to the original setting and back to your needed adjustment of 8 clicks left. Take the brass from a fired round and lightly tap the scope tube on the top and side fore and aft of the turrets and then take your next shot. If you can find some Hornady Superformance 140 grain SST's, try them out. You will be surprised at the accuracy. Thanks for another great shooting video. As always, greetings from Arkansas, Gods country.
Try Hornady American whitetail 139g. Actually been pretty satisfied with it.
Hard to come by anything here lately
Mine (Ruger American 7mm-08) doesn't like Remington Core Lokt, Hornady American Whitetail or Winchester Ballistic Silvertip. Likes Hornady 150 gr ELD-X and Federal 140 gr Nosler Partition. Federal Fusion and PPU 140 gr it shoots well.
So it likes the expensive stuff 😆
@@WHOTEEWHO unfortunately.....but still love the gun and the caliber.
My model 7 loves the 140gr ballistic silvertip
Check the action screws and the crown on the bore. I’ve had rifles that shoot less than perfect groups until the barrel gets broken in which usually takes about 40 rounds. Sometimes the rifling needs to be evenly worn a bit. My Winchester model 70 my savage model 10 and my Remington 700 all shot much tighter groups after 40 or 50 rounds. Try it keep us posted.
Pretty good groups considering you don't have the rifle locked down mister WhoTee WHO !
🇺🇸😎🚬
THIS was in FACT a really fun video!
🙏🙏🙏
I'm a huge fan of the 7mm-08, Its a fantastic cartridge. There's a very good Face book group (7mm-08 Shooters) dedicated to it where there's a lot of great info. I have had many rifles chambered in this cartridge and they all shot well.
7mm-08 is a great round. I have three different weapons in that caliber and they all shoot 1 MOA or better.
juusstt watched some of it again, and I'm not sure if you were resting the barrel in the V now. Some of it sure looked like it, but if I'm wrong, I apologise. Ii do hope you get to enjoy that wonderful cartridge. 👍🏴
I own many Ruger rifles most group great with Horandy ammo and a few group very well with Remington Accu Point
Check your stock and make sure it's not touching anywhere that will throw your groups out
Barrel’s getting hotter every shot an your shooting fairly quick , make sure the barrel is floated all the way on
Hornaday American Whitetail does really really well in my Rem.700 20"
I need to try it
I agree 100 percent that is great ammo. I've used it for several years now and it's never let me down
Horn-ady brother. Not day

Mine seems to shoot best with the 139 sst or the 139 whitetail sst as well. Shoots federal ok and doesn’t like Winchester at all
I shoot a 3 Rd group before adjusting. Also, a clean rifle shoots differently than a fowled barrel.
I have a 7 mm 08 Remington Savage Axis and it shoots the core locks really well and the norma 140 grain bullets and I can shoot that at 333 yards in group within 3 inches. I have shot Hornady whitetail and could not get them to group. It's a great gun and love it but it is picky about it's rounds
My Weatherby 7mm 08 doesn't like federal fusion either. The rifle will put many other brands from 120 grain to 150 grain in the same hole, or very close, at 100 yards.
Any rifle can be made to shoot well to 100m. The ballistics of the 7mm comes into its own at about 300m with retained speed and trajectory. That's why the 7x57 is probably the greatest hunting cartridge of all time after the 375 H&H. Sticking it into short action case just cripples it.
I used my "new" used 7mm08 with 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip ammo to take a whitetail at 130 yards with one shot. I love my new rifle.
You can always tightened your groups by moving the target to 25 yards. Works every time if you can keep a secret! 😁
The 7 mm 08 that I have prefers Hornady‘s I don’t know if they will work for you but I’ll give them a try
Hunt with the 7-08 and I love the Remington corelokt 139 grain. I shoot a Tikka Rifle.
I have a 6.5 CM, but I’ve been wanting a .284. Perhaps 7mm-08 will be it. I don’t want to beat up my arm too much.
