RE: 7mm-08 ammo choices
The Hornady brand of loaded ammo is excellent. You did not specify what you will be hunting, so i assume it will be mostly deer sized game, with the odd elk or moose. You will do well with 140 grain bullets. Hornadys SST or interbond are good choices. I prefer Federal ammo for factory stuff. Their cheap stuff always shoots good, plus they offer a good selection of premium bullets.
