The rifles (two of them both 7mm-08s) that I have shot light mag ammo out of did not shoot it well. That of course is a case by case basis. I have loaded some 162gr of those same soft points you asked about... and they shoot great and absolutely hammer deer.
+1
+2 on the "didn't shoot well out of my 7mm-08" part. I tried them. They didn't give me the accuracy I expect. Found a good handload that satisfies me.
