What's up everybody? We have 10 minutes here with esteemed colleague Mr. Fantastic Ryan Muck and Hearn to talk about a cartridge naturally and this one I hope I'm not going to start one of those Texans wisdom things over here, but I'm going to say it is the 7 08,

0:16.2

aka 7 MM 08 or 7 millimeter 08, 7M. 8, I don't know.

0:22.1

I'll take them all. So this is a cartridge that has been widely requested from a lot of our listeners out there and in on

and it does afford the shooter a few things.

1:12.8

Probably get away with a little bit less recoil

1:14.4

because we're generally pushing a lighter weight bullet

1:19.4

1:21.6

on the downrange trajectory when compared to its parent
