I’ve had great blood trails with 120 grain Nosler Ballistic tips(NBT) and 140 grain Partitions and Accubonds. I too shoot behind the shoulder. Never had a problem with them performing when hitting shoulders or not.

My 7-08 is a Model Seven and it’s a great cartridge.

I’ve killed several whitetail bucks with these setups and a big mule deer with the 140 grain Accubonds. My next elk will be killed with my Model Seven 7-08 and 140 grain Accubonds.
