Norma Ammunition 7mm-08 Rem 140gr Nosler BT x20
The 7mm-08 is simply a .308 Winchester necked down to 7 mm (.284). Remington adopted this wildcat in 1980. It is is closely associated with metallic silhouette photography. The goal of this Mexican-inspired sport is to knock down animal-shaped targets made of iron plate. The targets are placed between 100 and 500 meters away from the riflemen. The shooting is done on the spur of the moment. As a result, the 7mm-08 cartridge met all of the requirements for a metallic silhouette cartridge. It has a high precision potential, a flat trajectory, a light recoil, and enough power to knock over the silhouette even at long range.
Because the case capacity of the 7mm-08 is slightly less than that of the 7x57, the muzzle velocity of heavier bullets will be 100-150 fps. less than that of the Mauser design. This cartridge is well-suited to medium game at long range and is thus a popular choice for light-weight mountain rifles because it works well in short actions.
