[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 809824, member: 10178"] "When I used to work for the locally-owned outdoors store (not one of the local big-box stores), I can't tell you how many customers I sold 7mm-08's to for their wives or kids to use as their first deer rifle. I never once had anyone come back and trade it in for something smaller with less recoil...Everyone of them we sold, the customers would come back in for ammo or something else, and would always talk to us, and they all loved them." I have a friend that has owned a gun store for 34 years and he could say the same thing as above except it would be the 260 Rem. If you hand load you can load the 125 Nosler ballistic tip with 46 grs IMR 4895 in a 308 Win rifle and get about the same recoil as the 7-08 or 260 and it kills deer like lightening struck them. I use this bullet in all my 30 cals for deer. Just keep the impact velocity under 3000 fps and it really works on deer. [/QUOTE]
