[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 432564, member: 2693"] Scot E, The person who made statements to you that prompted this thread has expressed his opinion based on his experience. One person hardly represents the masses. I've killed a lot of game with all of my rifles in a lot of calibers and in 26 years of using a 7mm Rem Mag with ballistic tips, Sciroccos, Sierras, Speer, Hornady, Berger, and Remington bullets, I could tell absolutely no difference whatsoever on "kill-ability." I have never lost or even tracked an animal shot with a bullet more than a few yards. The 7mm is probably my favorite diameter. Or in my top 3 anyway. Get your son a 7-08 and use good bullets and you will never ever have to worry about a thing. I promise! (So long as proper shot placement is used). I'd advise a 150 Btip with a powder that produces velocities on the low side according to a Nosler manual. In fact, pick a powder that is low in velocity and where the manual says the minimum charge was most accurate. You can't go wrong. Btips are incredible bullets when pushed at proper speeds. [/QUOTE]
