The hornadys, which I am picking out of Dirt , don't seem to be holding up too well, Dirt being harder than any Sambar deer ,


No beginner to killin Sambar, just a beginner to the 7mm08 ....


Slower in comparison to the +2900 Gang, in which over that Speed ive found Cup an Core projectiles Don't penetrate very well nor hold together. just my findings over the years.

i'll never touch a BT for our big deer.




Your 'Lazy ' Load is quicker than my go to Kimber load albeit by 70fps...

.

cheers

For the 7mm-08 I have yet to see a bullet with more put down capability than the Barnes TSX. I could get the 120TSX to 3100fps using RL15 and think they may be your Sambar solution.
For everything else the BT will do the job. The SST and BT are nearly interchangable for performance from what I have seen.
