I strongly disagree the 7-08 rounds being just for deer. I think the average 140gr type is too hard and too penetrating for deer sized animals. I actually get better consistancy with a 30-30 on deer and hogs (at my short ranges). The 7-08 will likely drop anything on the planet without much of a problem.
The 7-08 ain’t no joke on paper and could be a heck of a one gun solution, I just think the 120’s make it more of a deer gun.
My whole “blue box” analogy is I’ve seen more than one guy set parameters for his perceived or real scenerio and buy $40 per box ammo that doesn’t kill any better than say a bigger caliber (30-06 or 7mm mag for example) using cheap blue box. Of worst yet, try to develop a hand load that is still inferior to a larger caliber in blue box.
Hey, I’m guilty too.
