Hey all,

I'm in the process of sorting out my deer/elk/combo rifles for next fall. Right now I have:

Savage 111 in 7mm rem mag
Savage 11 in 308win
Savage 11 Lightweight hunter in 7-08

My plan is to use the 7mm rem mag for elk, with the 308 as my back up, and the 7-08 as my deer rifle with the 308 as my back up. So I've been working on loads for the 7-08 using Barnes 120gr TTSX. I figure that if I can get them up past 2900FPS, then they'd make a dead deer for a mulie/blacktail hunt. Any experiences with these bullets on deer at 7-08 velocities? How has the 7-08 worked for anyone in the past?
