Berger 168gn for deer
I have read many posts in other forums about folks using the Berger VLDs for deer hunting. I have a 7mm-08 with a 28in barrel, and was wondering if this cartridge has enough to push the 168 VLD to decent velocities for hunting deer size game. I wonder if the high BC can make up for the slower velocity, and be effective on game out out to 200yds.
Any thoughts??

RE: Berger 168gn for deer
Good point cma3366a! The reason I said 200yds, is because I will use the config during the 07 deer season in PA. If this becomes a successful load, I plan to use it in Colorado in the future for Mule Deer and possible Elk.Out west, much longer shoot are not uncommon....
