Here’s a summer-lull question for those of you who hunt with the 7mm-08 round: How has this particular caliber performed for you when you’ve shot deer or hogs? Have you ever shot a deer behind the shoulder (sweet spot, boiler room, in-the-crease, etc.) and not recovered that deer? If so, did you have any reason to doubt the caliber, or maybe was it an inferior brand (American Whitetail comes to mind) of bullets you bought? Lastly, if you’ve ever shot a hog with a 7mm-08, how did that caliber perform on the hog? I’ll be hunting with my 7-08 quite a bit this coming season, and will be shooting 140 Remington Core-Lokt’s. I’ve killed two deer with his caliber, and both dropped in their tracks. Just curious to hear what results others have had. Thx.


Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.
