I've gone exclusively to the 7-08 lately. I've used and killed plenty of deer with the .270, .280, 7 Rem Mag and others. The 7-08 is now my go-to deer rifle, and it's an easy one to work up loads for. I'm currently shooting 140 gr. AccuBonds and will try 120 gr.'s this summer. I just see no reason to look elsewhere anymore.....
