Just picked up a superlite in 7mm-08 on a whim at the sportsmens warehouse balloon sale, for 50% off! Looking for some guys pet loads in the caliber. Im torn between running a light weight hunting constructed bullet (140 accubond or similar) or a 162 eld. It will be staying under 7.5 lbs and be used for 600 yards and in, with most of its hunting being in the timber.
I'm building my 7mm rem superlite into a 7/300 wsm throated for 180 elds this fall, it will be finished weight around 10.5 lbs and be used for extended distances. The 7mm 08 will be my only hunting rifle this fall so trying to get the best out of both worlds with it, and then when my other gun is done I will have a pretty versatile pair to use for what ever my hunts entail.
Scope will likely be a SHV 3-10x42 or a lrts 3-12x44.
Any advice, thoughts or loads are appreciated!
