[QUOTE="Reysm, post: 1163035, member: 94563"] I don't shoot 7mm-08. That being said I would pick one bullet for dear and one for elk. Instead pick the best bullet for your job. For hunting I have used soft point boat tail 185gr. in Speer and hornaday. My rifle chose the bullet and powder charge. Meaning I played with several loads and picked the load that was most accurate (weight/bullet Bc and speed) and use it for everything. Yes the bullet is a bit much for a dear but I what that rifle as perfect as possible to hide my errors. I prefer to have my bullet mushroom well but stay in tack for best chance of entrance and exit wound. This allows the to blead out the fastest and since using this load with the 300 Winmag I haven't had an elk walk more than 10 yards. The 7mm has better Bc a cross the board so you should find a lighter billet if you barrel has the right twist. [/QUOTE]
