Re: Sierra Matchking
Richard's post got me thinking about another thread I've seen:
Post your SMK kills - Sniper's Hide Forums

Notwithstanding the effectiveness of the SMK...
Why not stick with the 168 Berger?
If you consider it effective in your 7RM, why would it not be equally effective from your wife's 7-08? (minus a few hundred yards as would be expected from any given bullet when comparing those 2 cartridges)
