Ruger American G2 7mm-08

A buddy just picked up a Ruger American Gen 2 in 7mm-08. We tried two factory loads, and the accuracy was… meh. Federal Fusion 140 gn and Hornady American 139 Interlock both shot around 2 MOA, with a slight nod to the Federal ammo. It was a cold, windy day- but even my Remlin 336 .30-30 shot better than that!

He’s ordered a set of dies and some Speer bullets, and I have a few more types of 7mm bullets and some appropriate powders.

If anyone has advice on 7mm-08 accuracy, especially pertaining to these Rugers, I’m all ears.
