New Axis 7mm-08...Your thoughts on ammo.

[Steverino]

Hi all. I'm new here and will be picking up my first Savage rifle this Friday. Because of a disability, I ordered the Axis in a left hand youth in 7mm-08 and I'm kind of tossed as to which ammo to buy. I was looking at Hornady Custom Lite (low recoil) in 120 grain SST or possibly Remington Core-Lokt in 140 grain PSP. I plan to use the rifle for whitetail, antelope, and muleys, and most would probably lean towards the 140 grain, but I've killed a number of deer with my .243 and 100 grain bullets. Any thoughts on these two loads or any other suggestions for this caliber?

I have been very happy with the 139gr Hornady Interlock , and these should do very well for hunting. Really like the lower recoil on the 120's as well but haven't shot them enough to have an opinion on accuracy.
