I have killed 7 caribou at the 400 yard mark with a 7mm08 and all dropped in there tracks, have killed deer from almost point blank to about 550 yards with it as well, never lost a deer yet, all came down pretty fast too, if not in there tracks, under a 100 yards for sure!
the real name of the game is bullet placement and condition of the animal at time of shot if you ask me!
I have been using 140 grain ballistic tip's, group small, and again never lost a animal yet, all fast clean kills in my eye's, but never had a poor hit to date either!
been hunting with this caliber since about the yr after it came out! early 80's if memory is any good??
