    You are spoiled for choice, bush hunting any cup n core in 140-160 gn will work fine, the 145 gn Speer Hotcore are very good match with 7mm08 and cheap as chips. If you want to reach out further then 150 NBTs, 150 ELDX, 154SSTs, 160 TMKs or 162 AMAX or ELDMs are all good options
    GSP HUNTER, Hunty1 and stevodog like this.

    Yup been pretty impressed with 150 ELD-X +RL17. A lot of performance for a small case.

    I use 140gr acubonds with RL17. Very accurate in the kimber (18" barrel)
    Also do 180 gr lead subs for shooting over the dogs and have shot a few deer at close range with them too.
