Not sure if this is the right place, but I thought I'd ask.
I'm setting up a 7mm08 for my brother in law. I was looking for some input on what would be a good all around bullet. Main game will be NE whitetails and such. I'd like it to be able to handle elk/black bear if he gets lucky on a draw. What say you? I was looking at these:
120 TTSX
145 LRX
150 Sorocco II
140 Accubond
139/154 Interbond
+ open to others

I've used the 120 TTSX out of my 280, though only on whitetails. The last doe I shot, was angling away. I put it in her side near the last rib - it angled forward through the chest and out her throat (head lowered) near the white patch - about 25 inches total. Short of shooting her through the bunghole, I couldn't have gotten much more distance for that bullet to travel through her.
My son is a southpaw and we got him a LH Ruger Hawkeye in 7mm/08. We'll start with that bullet and the 145 LRX and go from there.
