He has taken countless game animals with it from his 280 AI. You can do a search of his posts and find more information than you can imagine. Last edited by Reloder28; 02/19/16.

I have used these in a 7mm-08 AI on 11 head of game. 5 Red deer, 5 Whitetails and 1 Sitka buck. The longest shot was 385yds, the bullet works very well, all DRT. The bullet is tougher than you would think, I would not hesitate at all to use it again. It would work well in your 7-08.

Silhouette shooters needed a tougher bullet on the rams so Nosler used the 140 grain jacket blank stamping. The 140 grain jacket doesn't get drawn out as far while being formed because the 120 grain is shorter, thus result is a thicker, tougher bullet. You're Welcome At My Fire Anytime
