I have a question regarding deer loads. My rifle is a Tikka T3 in 7MM08.
I currently have 3 varieties of Hornady ammo.
Which do you think would be best for deer assuming they all shot the same.

American whitetail 139gr Interlock soft point
Hornady Superformance 139gr GMX
Hornady Custom 139gr SST

The SST's will definitely get the job done, but don't expect a blood trail. My personal favorite for that caliber is 140 grain nosler partition by Federal.

Stay away from the SST's.... I'd go 140 Accubond....it's what I shoot out of my Tikka 08....

You might want to consider Barnes VorTx 120g TTSX; that's what my 7mm-08 likes; the deer and hogs not so much.

I shoot 140 grain Federal Fusions out of mine. They pattern really well and drop deer in their tracks. I'm a fan of shooting ammo that's easy to find.

The american whitetails seem to work and expand well.
The cheap part is a bonus. Ive stocked up on them for as low as $13 a box in 7mm-08.

PSA ran a sale on them last year. 7mm08, 30-06,270,243, and 308 all for $13 a box and free shipping for $50 or more order. I stocked up well on it.

Ive seen it on sale also at other places for $15-17

Those prices put it right down there with the cheapest I have found in 7mm-08 which is PPU 140gr SP. Thats what I use for hogs/varmits and can find it for $12-15 a box.

Another vote for Federal Fusion in 140 gr. Can't remember the last time I had to track a deer using those.

I've killed a plenty with 139 SST Hornady Light Mags. They are mean but not made any more. I have several boxes that I'd sell, shooting a .308 now.

Does anyone have experience with the GMX in the Superformance line?
Im thinking the SST will be used for shooting at the range.
