[QUOTE="stx, post: 342119, member: 21006"] I shoot the 120 TTSXs in my 280 at a little over 3200 fps and they perform great on whitetails with complete pass throughs and jelly everything in between. You should be able to get around 3000 fps with your 7mm-08 and that should be good to just around 500 yds according to my charts.....they drop to 1800 fps at that range and that is the magic mark where they don't open up and perform as they're designed to do. I have shot mine out to that range with excellent performance! I use Barnes Bullets in all of my rifles and don't find any reason to change. If I was shooting at extended ranges where these bullets dropped below 1800 fps, then I'd select another bullet. I'm good with my 300 Wby at 3200 fps with 180 gr TSXs to almost 750 yds. before I fall below 1800 fps. So far, I haven't had the need to shoot farther....Good Luck, Good Hunting & Merry Christmas!
