I get tired of posting this, but my daughters and their kids have taken several pickup loads of game consisting of Coues whitetails, desert mule deer and pronghorns with 7mm-08s and 120-grain BTs. If you throw in the dozen or so guest hunters that used one of my 7mm-08 loaners, that would probably account for another couple of pickup loads.
Many of the latter group were youths and/or first-time hunters who had never shot an animal with a center-fire rifle. I cannot remember any animals that were not recovered, nor can I remember any that required a second shot. My younger daughter still uses them in her 7mm-08 and one of my grandsons uses them exclusively in his .280 for Texas whitetails. YMMV.
