120 NBT over Varget seems about the most popular 7-08 load.

Last year, I had just put my 7-08 together, didn't have time to work up loads, so shot my buck with 120 NBT factory ammo.

Factory load shot 1", no problem doing what needed doing. Chest shot deer ran 50 yds and piled up still in sight. Good internal damage and exit.
