I have no experience with them, but know others shoot the 140gr NAB from the 7-08 at ~2800fps. This drifts ~19" at 500y... only ~3" more than the 162 in the example above. The 140 NAB has a 0.485 G1.

So given two "comparable" spitzers without a huge disparity in BC, they will perform similarly in terms of wind drift given mild/moderate wind values. As wind increases the higher BC bullet advantages will be even more apparent and could make a difference in shot placement but I don't think anyone is advocating shooting game under such conditions.

Its still worth exploring the options though. I know the 120gr is a favorite on the 'Fire for the little 7-08, but a higher BC bullet might be worth a look.

7RM and 160gr NAB would seem like a good option for those who like the NPT. The NAB would offer slightly better BC with comparable terminal ballistics, or so I've heard.
