[QUOTE="OldBronc, post: 2613809, member: 121507"] I shoot a 120 gr. Hammer Hunter in my 7mm-08, and have taken three elk and a number of deer. They have worked quite well on all the animals, with none traveling more than 20 yards. I've been using Varget and have been getting 5-shot groups right at 1.5". I've recently been shooting IMR-8208 XBR, and I've been impressed with that powder behind the 120 gr. HH. Here is my load data: Kimber Montana 7mm-08 22" barrel 120 gr. Hammer Hunter CCI 200 primer 2.76" OAL 1/8 turn FCD Varget 45.0 gr - 3080 fps, 1.5" 5-shot groups IMR-8208 XBR 41.0 gr - 2889 fps 42.0 gr - 2975 fps 43.0 gr - 3053 fps 44.0 gr - 3160 fps 45.0 gr - 3196 fps (stiff bolt lift) I settled on 44.0 gr., and have been getting 1" or better 5-shot groups.
