[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1505861, member: 2736"] You are absolutely correct in the numbers. But most people that shoot a 7/08 don't/wont be shooting 600 yards at deer using the 120, including my self. when I make reference to the 120 grain BT it is at its best at 0 to 400 yards and again most people that have shone interest in the 7/08 plain to hunt deer at 0 to maybe 300 yards. I prefer the 150s beyond 400 or 500 yards and for targets out to 1000 yards I like the 168 SMK . Although i am very fond of the 7/08 and have a 100% kill rate with it I never ask it to do something It was not intended for, and reach for something much larger if I am going to hunt for game with a 7 mm over 600 yards.I prefer the 280 AI and the STW with 160 to 180 grain bullets and the 7 mm RUM for the biggest 7 mm bullets. I must have miss stated my use of the 7/08 and 120s but as far as I know, I have never recommended the 120s for hunting over 600 yards. so sorry about the mix-up and that's what i like about this site, We all agree to disagree. Thanks J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
