[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 520410, member: 2580"] Coffdvm, I've shot 120gr Ballistic tips and several different 140gr bullets at whitetails with my 7-08. The 120gr Ballistic tip is devastating even if you centerpunch a shoulder. I load them for myself, one of my daughters, and have loaded them for 2 grandsons, all shooting 7-08's. No 140gr ever matched them. I haven't loaded anything else for at least 10 yrs or so. We've never had to track more than 30yds. I use 160gr Accubonds in my .280, and haven't shot 120's in it. My 7-08 load chronographs at only 3020 fps, but if your rifle likes the 120's, I believe they will perform on deer at your velocity. Tom [/QUOTE]
