I just got a new one, looking for the perfect bullet specifically for whitetail deer. don't need recommendations for elk or moose or elephant, just deer. thanks to all you users of 7-08, looking forward to working up the loads for it.
I like the 140's unless I'm shooting very long ranges. To me, the perfect bullet for a 7-08 for deer is the 140-gn Accubond.
If you want to mess around out to 600 yards or so the above bullet works well, or the 162 Amax has been performing well for me on steel at least.
