RE: 7mm-08 - Whitetail/Black Bear/ Hog Bullet?
I shoot a 280 Remington so this will apply to your 7MM-08. I used the 140 gr. B-Tip for a number of years until we started killing alot of feral hogs on our property and I wasn't satisfied with the B-Tip performance at close range on 150-200# hogs. I switched to the 140 gr. TSX and I'm impressed. At a range of a little over 80 yards I shot a boar that on cattle scales weighed 311#. I shot the boar a little below the tail as he was facing away from me. The bullet came out the front and took the lower jaw with it. Needless to say the hog never moved. Over my chrony I'm just under 3000 fps with this load. I'm sure out of your 7MM-08 if you have at least a 22" barrel you will get around 2800 fps. At the distances you listed you will have enough velocity for good bullet expansion.
