RE: Anyone hunt with the 7mm-08?
I have been hunting with a Ruger Frontier in 7mm-08 for the past year and have shot about 9 deer. Out of all of them only one got away because of a poor shot thru heavy cover that Ishouldnot have taken to begin with. The 7mm-08 seems to have just the right punch for the Axis deer thatI shoot. All of my shots have been pass thru shots and I have even gotten two deer ( a doe and a buck) with one shot. I am using the Hornady Light Magnum Ammunition with the 139 grain "SST" head. I would recommend the 7mm-08 as well as the Light Mag. ammunition.
