The 7-08 is a fine cartridge for deer hunting in Alabama. Load a 140 grain Nosler partition or accubond and you will have no worries about bullet performance on any shot you may have.

I have never used a 7-08, but have used a 7x57 since the mid 80s, which is the ballistic twin of a 7-08. I've killed a few dozen deer with that gun, mostly with 139 gr Hornady and 140 gr partitions.
