Default RE: 7mm-08 ammunition

Plane Jane Remington 140 grain core lockt bullets will be the cheapest and are certainly more than capeable of taking down the largest of deer. They don't cost much which leads to more range time and they were designed to perform very reliably at the velocities the 7mm-08 will be generating.

It never ceases to amaze me that someone will go out and spend $500, $600, $700, or more for a rifle and scope than want to stuff it with the cheapest ammo they can find.
At the velocites the 7mm-08 is generating it is absolutely not necessary to buy a super premium bullet for hunting deer size game. Thousands upon thousands of deer are taken every year with regular ole bullets such as the core lokt, power point, sierra game kings, etc...

My 270 shoots 130 grain core lokts with excelent accuracy. So why would I need to buy a $30 box of failsafes when these get the job done perfectly every time.
