    I'm using 120gr BT in my 18" 7/08. They are doing about 3000fps with H335. Only shot one deer at 220yds, heart shot complete penetration and a couple of goats.
    The 120BT is a harder projectile than the 140gr BT, because they cut the 140gr cup shorter to make the 120gr, hence the jacket walls are thicker at the nose on the 120gr.

    I am using Speer Hot cor 130 grain Spitzer soft Point with 45.0 grain CFE 223 (~2800fps) in a 16' 7/08 Tikka 595.
    Furthest shot was 320 yards at a big billy goat and it dropped it well.

    Or you can stay within 300 yards and keep life a lot simpler.
