I have been using the Hot-cor, 145 gr. FB in my 7mm-08 with very good results. I have other 7mm bullets around, but just can't figure out why to go with anything else for a basic deer/antelope load for that rife. Shoots about 1 inch consistently and chronos right at 2700 fps. Have not recoved any bullets from about 6 deer, 2 antelope and a couple hogs. All were one shot except an insurance shot on one of the antelope.
