[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2600368, member: 105681"] My daughter has been killing deer, hogs and elk with her 7mm-08 since she was 10. I started her with reduced loads of H4895 and the Nosler 120 Ballistic Tip. Little bullet does great! 39 grains keeps recoil down to 243 levels. The last few years she has been shooting elk with the 140 grain Accubond. A full case of H4350 goes 2720 fps out of her 20" bbl. She kills out to 400 yds on elk without issues. People really underestimate this cartridge but it can shoot really small groups and kill game with the best of em. Numbers aren't flashy but results are impressive. The 150 grain eldx wouldn't shoot out of her rifle but the Nosler ABLR 150 grain do. These bullets are crushing mule deer. Rldr 17 gets them moving 2677 fps. I've never shot the 150 Berger Classic Hunter but they would be a good choice at 7-08 @ speeds too I'm sure. If you need any load data DM me and I can send you some info. Happy hunting with your daughter!! [/QUOTE]
