RE: deer bullets
I think that at a maximum range of 80 yards, the 7mm-08 will punch through a deer with almost any good factory soft point. The Remington core-lokt, Winchester power point, any of the Federal nosler stuff, and certainly any of the heavy duty controlled expansion bullets like the failsafe or the Barnes X. I would just pick up whatever you can find in the 140 grain range and see how it shoots. I wouldn't worry too much about the adequacy of the bullet on deer.
