One quote: "... a 168-grainer fired from a 7mm-08 will exhibit less drop and less windage than a 168gr bullet fired from a .308 Win"
" These qualities make the 7mm-08 a very popular deer-hunting round.
The combination of knockdown power, excellent ballistics, and reduced recoil (compared to a .308 shooting bullets of comparable BC) has also earned favor with Metallic Silhouette shooters. The 7mm08 has first-class accuracy and enough hitting force to knock down the heavy rams even at 500 yards."
" For match shooting, the 7mm-08 doesn't really have the boiler room to push the heavy 175-180gr bullets efficiently, so we suggest that paper-punchers concentrate on the 150-160gr class. The plastic-tipped 162gr A-Max has proven to be very accurate, with an impressive 0.625 BC. This A-Max bullet, and the 150gr Sierra MK, are also very popular with silhouette shooters.
Deer hunters should be happy with one of the advanced-design bullets in the 130-140gr class, such as the Hornady 139gr Interbond, Nosler 140gr Partition, and Barnes 140gr Tipped TSX. The TSX is a lead-free design, offering hunters a quality projectile to use in areas where lead-core bullets are prohibited.``
