[QUOTE="joepa2k3, post: 896744, member: 75150"] I've been doing alot of reading on the 08 lately, as it has been my sporter cartridge since I started hunting. I've killed whitetails with 100gr hollow points when I was 12, and now use 120 gr spitzers and have never lost a whitetail, nor had one run more than 20 yards. All were well placed shots. With my current rifle, I'm confident at 250 yards (Rem Model 7). I am actually in the process of building my first long range gun in 7mm-08. With proper shot placement, I see no reason why a 162 gr bullet cant ethically take a whitetail at 800 yards - but the key here is proper shot placement. [/QUOTE]
