[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 600314, member: 13632"] The 140's are nice out of a 7mm-08 but you need to better match your bullets to size of the cartridge, a 168 or better yet a 180 would be a better match!!! What your seeing with the damage is the bullet not just blowing up like a varmint bullet but doing a slow blow and basically making a cloud of bullet fragments that makes a wound channel that looks like a grinder went through it, and with a little more bullet it would have exited in the same manner. We target the heart a lot and we rarely find much of it left, but as with most bullets a heart shot usually produces a little bit of a run before the run out of juice! [/QUOTE]
