I will tell ya don't waste the cash,buy a 280 rem you will be much happier.
I listened to everyone on how GREAT the 7mm-08 was.Got myself a Remington Mdl 7 in 7mm-08 nice trim package with a 2-7 scope.Traded it on this site 2 years ago on a 30-06 a-bolt,traded the a-bolt and bought a .280 rem.I'm now much happier.

Maybe I was expecting to much of the7-08,but I was not impressed shooting deer and watching them run 150-200 yds after the shot.I know alot of you guys find that exceptable,but I don't JMO.
I was using Federal 140 gr Noslers.

Wow, I've never had one go more than 30 yards, using a smaller/weaker .243 with 100 gr. PSP Core Lokt's. You sure you hit them in the right spot?
