[QUOTE="ShedAntler, post: 4963195, member: 20751"] I recently purchased a 7mm-08 for the wife , Bergara B14 Hunter to be exact , We do not reload .. Ammo selection is limited around my area where I have looked , but I did end up finding a handful of factory loads and bought what they had .. We purchased the follwing : Hornady Custom Lite 120g SST - 2675 fps at the muzzle Federal Fusion 120g bonded soft point - 3000 fps at the muzzle Hornady American Whitetail 139g Interlock SP - 2840 fps at the muzzle The Bergara is a tack driver , shoots very consistent . All ammo purchased grouped well with the 120gr bullets being alittle tighter compared to the 139gr . As far as im concerned, they all shot well enough to take to the woods . Im sure im overthinking this as I have heard the 7mm-08 is an absolute killer , I just don't want to loose a deer over bad bullet selection , so the question goes .. All shots will be less than 125 yards , with the majority of them being in the 60 yard range . Which bullet would you guys choose from what I have listed on hand ? Any experience with these exact rounds on deer would be helpful . Thank you [/QUOTE]
