Just about any bullet will work on deer when shot from a 7mm-08. I have tried just about all of the factory loads and I've never been disappointed. My personal favorite before it was discontinued was the Hornady Light Magnum 139 grain SP. Since it has been discontinued I have changed over to Hornady Superperformance 139 grain SST. I also really like the Remington 140 grain Corelokt. I prefer the SST over the Corelokt though. It seems to me that the Hornady loads are more consistent. The SST does not have the best penetration in the world and I have recovered a few of them under the offside hide. That doesn't worry me though because it does a lot of damage once it hits the heart and lungs and leaves one heck of a blood trail, IF the deer even makes it out of sight. Good luck and I hope you kill a pile of deer with it.
