About 22 years ago I had a 7X57 I made myself in Rigby style. I used the 160 gr Nosler Partitions. I never had any complaints at all. Everything I shot died with one shot, and nothing went any father than about 15 yards after it was shot.

The 7-08 is about the same speed as the 7X57 bullet for bullet, so I would recommend the 160 gr Nosler Partition without hesitation.
