7mm-08 questions I need thoughts new to reloading

So I dropped load just a little with the 166 a tip to 44 gr out of 20" barrel going 2600 FPS and opening day was on the first and my daughter connected with her first buck 105 yard buck was laying down quartering away perfect shot his showing leg was back and hit him right in point of shoulder and went in the liver through both lungs and came out other side and it was a great shot I couldn't be prouder of her and the bullet performance was definitely by far the best I have had out fo this gun second pic entrance side thirds entrance inside fourth exit outside and fifth exit inside

Last year I couldn't get .277 ABLR's so I reluctantly bought 200 Swift Scirocco's. Great shooting bullets for sure. I think I found an upgrade from the ABLR's. They go on a whitetail hunt at the end of the month.
 
That's a perfect ending to an amazing story! Perfect shot by a perfect young lady! I am jealous! I would have probably botched it. She's definitely a better shot than me! Beautiful buck! Nice work, dad!!!

Probably a wise idea slowing that freight train down! It would have probably done the deed 800 fps slower.
 
Excellent and congratulations to your daughter.
I'm impressed with what my 7mm-08 does and it has been deadly on Geral Pigs with various loads.
I expect she will have great success on deer.
Maybe she will smash some hogs, I hear they are spreading out and building numbers.
