    I used them for a wee while before I picked up dies for the 270. I used 130gr for the 270, and shot maybe 3 or 4 reds at bush stalking ranges. All killed quickly, with plenty of internal damage and an exit hole, perfect! But small sample size. They were accurate and not bad value for money, if I still had the 270 (and wasn't a hand loader) I'd continue to use them.

    They are quite a tough bullet, so for NZ species I reckon use them on the lighter end, as above 120gr for your 7mm08 if they come in that.
