I would think most hunting bullets out of a 7 08 that are classified for 700 pound animals would work at 80 to 300 yards.
Terminal Ballistic Research web sight would be a good source to learn about the differences on post mortum.

In my experience I have found Nosler Parts to be very accurate in older barrels, I have been told they "slug" the barrel better than most.

I have also found some of my stuff does not like boat tails as well as flat bases.

I also tried re-loading ttsx 130's in the 300 savage. I had the devil of a time in not crushing shoulders and finding a crimp on the deep cannulures.

Just like bow hunting.....finding the broad head your bow likes is paramount. Just like which bullet is most accurate in a hunting rifle.

Just like the Chef Justin Wilson would say when asked what kind of wine to cook with. "Cook with the wine you LIKE."
