[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1091891, member: 12995"] They weigh 6 grains more than the 162 Amax... Your velocity differences will be negligible. I still have my 7mm-08 I've had since I was a kid, and back when I hunted deer with it, I used the factory Hornady 139 SST ammo, and it worked great. But my reloads use either Nosler 140 Accubonds, 168 VLD's, and I even have some with the 180 VLD's. I have not tested the 168 and 180's yet. The 180's won't be fast, but they should thump hard inside of 500. Maybe even further. I would anticipate the results would be about like my Berger 210 VLD load for my .308 Win... Not very fast, but a true heavy-hitter inside of 800 yards. [/QUOTE]
