[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 688132, member: 2736"] I have posted many times on this so I will make it short. After trying every bullet I could get my hands on, I have chosen the 120gr Ballistic tip because of it's performance in the 7/08 on deer. The velocity seems to be the Key. 49.5 grains of h414 will just break the 3000 ft/sec mark, And 45.5 grains of Varget will do 3100ft/sec. Both loads are very accurate (My best was .053 5 shot @ 100 yards with the 414 load). The 120 drops deer in there tracts and hogs in excess of 350 pounds normally fall within 20 to 30 yards shot behind the shoulder. I personally like the heaver bullets, but the 708 seems to prefer the 120s. Try them and you will see. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
