[QUOTE="gte901m, post: 1503809, member: 80740"] Love the 7mm08; my primary rifle. -Nothing wrong with 120s, but not my cup of tea. -130 speer reach 3,000fps with imr4064 and shoot tiny groups -140 Sierra pro hunters (flat based and no plastic tip) give you plenty of case capacity. I shoot these at 2,910fps from a 22" tube; 1/4" groups. Terminal performance is great. Shot another whitetail last week at 95 yards - 3" exit wound - deer didn't take another step. Good out to ~400 yards with 10mph wind. $35 for a box of 100. My primary bullet for deer. -150 Hornady ELDX shoot 1/2" groups at 2,770fps from a 22" (not max); haven't used them on game; carries 1,000 ft-lbs to ~700yards or so - if you want to shoot bambi that far. I use them to punch paper at 300-500 yards. BC is an impressive 0.555. Maybe a good option for your needs. Price is affordable. -150 nosler partitions can be pushed over 2,800fps from a 22" if you want to shoot an elk or black bear. -For target practice; 120 sierra pro hunters and a reduced load of H4895 at 2,700fps shoots 3/4" groups; can double as a youth load -nothing wrong with 168 pills if you can seat the bullet longer than saami spec to get extra case capacity hope that helps [/QUOTE]
