But my full custom FA2008 in .378 GNR shoots flat over any reasonable range I have business shooting and it’s exceptionally accurate despite stiff recoil. Dropping to a 235 gr. helps more. But I set it up to shoot anything on the planet with the 260 gr. Nosler at 2300 fps. The 7mm makes little difference, 120-140 gr. running 2400-2600 fps.
Hard to go wrong. For a revolver, a good .357 caliber option just for back up. My custom Reeder will shoot .356 GNR, .38/.357, or 9mm with a couple extra cylinders thrown in the kit.
All the pics I had available…

Anything within 250 yds. is in danger if I have a good rest.
