The 7mm-08 Remington Match Grade Cartridge is manufactured on Peterson Cartridge�s new, state-of-the-art case line which uses cutting-edge technology to produce some of the most precise and consistent casings on the market.

This round is most common as a hunting round for medium sized game.

History

At Peterson Cartridge we had an employee named Clint who has since passed away. Clint�s go-to rifle was a 7mm � 08 Remington. We already had the tool pack to make .308 Win which is the parent case of 7mm � 08. So to get Clint some Peterson brass for his 7mm � 08 we decided to make this caliber.

The tool pack to make a new caliber can require up to 60 pieces of �touch tooling� and up to another 40 pieces of �material handling� tooling. But if you want to make a new caliber in a family you already have tooling for, it can require far less new tooling. So without the need for a lot of engineering time or experimental tooling we were pretty quickly able to produce the tool pack to make 7mm � 08. In spite of that, just before we had our first production run Clint passed away.

Making a new caliber for the first time is normally a cause for celebration around here. But in this instance it was bitter sweet. Clint was a good guy, well-liked by his co-workers. Now whenever we take a 7mm � 08 into the gun range or out into the field, it conjures up fond memories of our friend Clint.
