7mm-08 garbage

Hornady released this video today, extolling the virtues of the 7mm-08 as an elk cartridge. I don’t know why I watch shit like this, because Nathan has taught me to know better. The conversation starts with 3 relatively intelligent grown men discussing their beards. That’s a dead-giveaway. But confirmation bias somehow draws me into suffering through hours of blather about BC, SD, FPS, FPE, etc.

It could have been worse Scott, at least they weren’t advocating the 6.5 cm

Re: 7mm-08 garbage
True, Vince. But why would they piss on their own shoes when they just released an adequate cartridge, the 7mm PRS? Supposed “experts” in the US seem to think telling people what they want to hear is more important than giving them good advice. If you can’t handle recoil, you’ve no business hunting elk.
