140 NAB has really been shining for my son the past couple years in his 7mm-08. We haven’t tested it up close but white-tails out beyond 100 yards and elk past 500 yards. Penetrating well and producing nice mushrooms. If we had more magazine length, we might try 150 Swift Sciroccos, but the Model Seven requires you stuff the bullet in the case so far that you lose powder capacity but I’ve used it in 7 magnums and been impressed.
Other son has been shooting 150 ELDXs in his 7 RM. shoots really well and has a fair BC but it has come apart on us several times on elk and never at close ranges. Always 300+yards so I’m not completely confident that it would withstand something like a direct shoulder impact at close range. I’m guessing that the 140 NAB will and know that the 150 Scirocco will.
