The 7mm-08 does suck but at least the Core-Lokt gives it a fightin' chance. Anything but a Nosler BT.

Troll doesn't know how to read....
The 7/08 'CORELOKT' 140gr load, WAS the 139 Hornady SP by Hornady for 10-15 yrs or more. The change came about when RP started putting 'new/improved' corelokt.....but having loaded and shot some of their 'new' bulk bullets......they were not up to par w/a 139 IME, accuracy wise.
What do trolls know?

Especially not Barnes TSX's, they just pencil through, you know, even in the sucky 7-08........ ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/alank/2006_1216MICKEYS0010.jpg)

Since Barnes is a Remington product they are suitable, but why spend the money for premium bullets on deer?

My old standby that has never let me down in 7x57,280 or 7mag is the Speer 145 SPBT..it don't get any better than this unless a 120/140gr TTSX!!

Used the Sierra years ago on speed goats,thought they opened up too quickly.Made the switch to the Speer 145 SPBT got better accuracy and penetration.The Core-Least have never been on my radar!!  .....although my father-in-law swore by them in his thudy-thudy!!

i agree with the 120 gr. NBT and 120 gr. TSX.
the 7mm 120 gr. NBT is built stouter than most other NBT bullets.
but i still use the TSXs when i'm hunting where bigger stuff might wander by.

Well, I will be the black sheep.
130 Speer BTSP. With top loads of Re-15 or IMR4320, I get 3000 fps with <1 MOA accuracy. Texas deer and hogs dislike this recipe, however.
I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.
