[QUOTE="Kenster-Boy, post: 73329, member: 2330"] Well. . . since nobody is giving you anything to work with I can TRY to give you some insight. I have heard it said somewhere around here that you need about 800 foot pounds of energy to effectively kill a deer sized animal. So that means put in your information to a drop chart that also shows the energy at given ranges along with the drop, etc... This will tell you about the maximum range for deer hunting with a 7mm-08. You may just be suprised at how far it will actually work and it may just be a little farthur than you can accurately shoot. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] That's about all I can tell you as I have never shot a 7mm-08. Although a 7mm rem mag works wonders on deer to 1000 yards and has the potential for longer. The bullets for this class of rifle will suit you just fine. If I had to take a wild stab in the dark at a maximum range of a 7mm-08 I guess 800 yards max. Because they use .308 rifles to kill people at 1000 and all a 7mm-08 is is a .308 with a little more velocity. GOOD LUCK and I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
