[QUOTE="aramarine6, post: 893076, member: 24685"] The 7mm-08 will be a great deer round. When it comes to shooting at game at distance it's more of a combination of factors than just, "is this cartridge good at this distance?" You need to consider shooting ability, are you able to consistantly hit the vitals at a given distance. For the sake of the question we will say 450 yards. At 450 yards, will the projectile you have selected, do what its supposed to do when it impacts the animal? (expand, penetrate etc...) 7mm bullets have great BCs and are great for longer range shots. They make alot of differenct types of hunting bullets and factory ammo for the 7mm-08. I'd say if you are an accomplished shooter that with the right projectile that the 7mm-08 would take down a Whitetail at 500 yards. Just remember the vitals get mighty small at that range. [/QUOTE]
