I have hunted exclusively with a 7mm-08 since 93. I traded in a 257 Roberts that I had lost a few deer with. It turns out the silvertips I was using were probably the problem. I have killed several bears to 300 lbs here and two cow elk and one bull. It shoots flat with no noticable recoil and nosler makes great bullets for it. I shoot a Browning BLR, and my daughters both have Stevens model 200's. They all shoot this round well.
We shoot long distances here on oak mountains across creeks and stuff. This round has deer killing energy out to three hundred yards easily.
