150-168 grain bullets for LR
target shooting
1:8.5-1:9 twist

I would offer that even though it is more expensive to get started the 284 is a serious long range cartridge in 7mm. the recoil is manageable. The velocities exceed the 7-08 enabling the use of 160 - 175 grain projectiles...maybe higher. If single loading is not an issue, look that direction. If not the 7mm 08 is awesome for LR accuracy and hunting lighter game.
