Indiana's turned down proposal of allowing most high powered rifles had me secretly hoping to use my 7mm-08 bolt action for deer hunting. I use it for coyotes but I won't be deer hunting with it. I can understand the decision however I have been wanting a rifle that will shoot to 200 yards with brutal stopping power and is flat shooting, something my 357 or 44 magnum rifles cannot do. So I bought a complete 450 Bushmaster this week, installed a scope on it and swapped my timney drop in trigger from my 5.56 AR to the 450.

This thing is scary accurate and recoil is way tamer than I thought. It has exceeded my initial expectations in terms of shooting. It also appears to have tons of power seeing what it does to water jugs and concrete blocks. I am positive this rifle will do what it is adverised to do. I can't wait to drop the hammer on some deer or hogs.

Has anyone had any hunting experiences with this cartridge. I am dying to hear some stories while I am waiting to make my own.
