[QUOTE="Overkill338, post: 1664703, member: 110473"] I am a die hard fan of the whomper stomper teeth rattling Magnums. That said, I absolutely LOVE the 7-08 !! That has got to be at the top, as one of if not the greatest deer cartridge ever. So easy to load for, soft shooting, flies flat enough, and they just shut'em down in short order! .243, 7-08 .308, and .338 Federal, I love them all!! Never used a .260, or a .358 Win though. I asked my buddy about his. 46.9gr of RL16, CCI200, with a 140 Nosler Partition. Average 2892 fps, and groups between 0.50"-0.75". Varies by the day (heat, humidity etc etc). He put down a nice 5 pointer last season. I wasn't there, but he said it was 125-150 yards, entered behind the right shoulder, broke left shoulder, and the bullet didn't quite make it out of the shoulder. Hope that helps. Please work up slow, as I think he is around max. [/QUOTE]
