Don't shoot a 7mm-08 but in my 30-06 I also shoot the Federal Fusion ammo as mentioned above. I shoot 150 grain. For some reason seems to be the most accurate of what I've tried in my rifle. I've only shot one deer with it and it dropped right there. It was a pretty large doe I shot at about 150 yards. It did leave a small hole through the deer though and didn't appear to expand a ton but it did DRT.
