I shot end to end on one like that a few years back. I was shooting a 7mm/08 with 154 grain Hornady RN bullets. Did about 75 yards worth of tracking on that one. Highly unusual for that rifle. It was the last year I used that bullet out of that rifle.
CT,
There may not be any better bullet for your 7-08 than the one you abandoned. There is nothing wrong with the 154gr Hornady that a little better placement won't cure.
