In a moment of weakness I picked up a nifty little semi-custom Model 700 chambered in 7mm-08 and I decided to take in on an upcoming hunt in an area where the bucks typically have large bodies (200 lbs+) and a shot longer than 200 yards is rare.
I've mounted a Z3 Swarovski 3-10x42 with a #4a reticle in ltwt Talley's (7 1/4 lbs) and I'd like a suggestion of a good factory load - the only restriction being the ranch manager has made it clear --- no ballistic tip, or similar bullets allowed due to past experiences with poor penetration.
Will probably take a couple of boxes of the top 2 or 3 suggestions to the range to see which shoots the best and go with that.
