[QUOTE="Chico guy, post: 2677178, member: 116421"] I think it depends a lot on what and where you are hunting. My son's first rifle was a 7mm-08 about 15 years ago. I've loaded a variety of bullets from 162 gr SST to 120 gr Hammers. He killed a handful of hogs with a single shot from close to about 225 yards with the SST. Lots of good results with 140 Accubonds then switched to copper a few years ago and found a sweet spot with 140 gr TSX. I really like the cartridge, obviously it's not a velocity screamer. I think the perfect hunting role is in a lightweight mountain rifle for closer shots or bench shooting silhouettes. Hornady shows 154 SSTs around 2700 fps close to 2800 fps [/QUOTE]
