Anyone shoot these two in a 7-08? Nosler’s are tough to find and don’t want to waste my stash plinking, thinking the Vmax which is cheap and available would be a good alternative if they shot close to the same POI.

No way to know where they'll shoot in relation to any other bullet until you try. If you do try and they don't print somewhere usable in relation to one another, you can regulate the loads by altering the loading parameters and trying to bring them closer together.

Wondering if anyone has used them with good accuracy? Had a pile of BT’s but down to a little over 100 and can’t find them in stock anywhere.

I have, in a 7x57 (R).
Loaded them with Varget for 3,060 fps.
Very accurate in my particular gun.
And very deadly on a bunch of Springbucks, three Warthogs, and four Roebucks I killed with them.
They shot 1" lower than their sister load with the 120gr NBT.

I load both for 7/08, NBT for hunting, Vmax for varminting. Both are 120 grain but the powder charge is less in the Vmax. It was too hot with the same charge as the NBT. Varget is what I’ve been using.

I don't buy bullets at these prices, but Nosler has them in stock. Almost .80 a piece, but they have them. https://www.nosler.com/7mm-120gr-ballistic-tip-hunting-50ct.html
