7mm 08 Fallow bullet choice
Hi Everyone,
I need some advice on what bullet to choose for shooting mostly Fallow and some Roe with a 7mm 08. I have a semi custom Sako 75 with a 22" Walther Sporter barrel which I bought from Wardy 1 on here. Wardy had some loads developed for it and it sings with Nosler 140Gr BT's, but... I need to find a bullet that is a bit kinder to the carcase and will drop a large Fallow, so soft tips spring to mind. Nosler Accubonds don't work that well through it so they're out.
Time is limited for me (5 kids and a business keep me busy and knackered!) so the lads at Broc and Norris are going to make some test ammo up for me so I can see which bullets work best for accuracy but I wondered if anyone had any experience of what bullet works best for doing the job in the field?
Just another thought - has anyone got a good Fox round choice too?
Thanks for any help.
