    It really is worth mentioning that I would never use these groups as evidence to use a 7-08 to shoot deer at these distances, in any sort of wind it turns into a scatter gun.

    We've been running AR2206H with 120 gr Sierras where we get around 2800 fps which have been doing the business nicely out to 300 mtrs on Bull Thar & heavy bodied reds and giving great accuracy.

    Another projectile to try is the 120 gr BT's which are slightly harder but the Sierras have been great.

    CFE223 is another powder to try as we used that with 120 gr Barnes projectiles but I can't recall the speeds we were getting
