Hello,
Is there any body out there using a 7/08 in f-open, i have a spare action going and thought i may play around with this round.

Regards,
Peter Marum

Peter,

I've shifted this to the Technical forum - hope you don't mind.

Glad to hear you're interested in F-Open . Here's something from benchrest.com that involves a few Aussies in the discussion:

See you on Saturday I hope.

If you want to use a 308 based cartridge a 260 REM would be your best option. If you want a 7mm use a 284 Win.

Why bother with anything other than a 6BR as it will duplicate ballistics of a 7/08 with far less recoil and an inherently more accurate round. These all use a 308 bolt face.
Grenfell armouring service can help with all your needs and have all the above calibres plus more suitable for F open

I believe that Raeburn Trindall of the Canberra Rifle Club is using a 7mm08 in F Open. He wrote an article some months back in the ATR Mag. Sorry, I don't have a contact number for him.
