LA.....even way less [~500] will do the job and put a deer down.
I shoot a .243 and have been using it for 20 years.
It is plenty of gun to knock down a deer. A 7mm-08 is a step up from a .243. If anyone is "Loosing" a deer with a 7mm-08.....IMO.....they need to wait for a better shot......and....spend some time practicing shooting.
IMO.....propping you gun on a sand bag at the range is not practicing.
