Best 7mm08 hunting round?? #3591260 01/22/22 11:54 AM 01/22/22 11:54 AM

Bryand12872 OP spike B Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 40 Florence Al	Just bought my first 7mm08. In you guys’ experience, what’s the best hunting round? The ammo is pretty scarce so I just gathered what I could. Haven’t shot it yet. I got a box of Barnes 120 grain with the gun. I found a box of hornady whitetail interlock 139 grain and a box of Winchester power point 140 grain. I realize the Barnes are probably the best bullet, but is the 120 grain enough? Seems a little light. Any help would be appreciated.

Last three shot with 140 nosler Accubond. These have been deadly and accurate (very hard to find). Found plenty of 150 Norma and ELDX, but have not shot. Everyone says to go 20gr below your normal weight with the Barnes, so that 120 should be perfect.
