Since I responded earlier I have taken two very nice whitetail with the RAR 7mm-08. But I may be switching my load from the Federal Vital-Shock Ballistic Tips 140 grn. to perhaps a Federal Fusion 120 grn. The Vital shocks are causing an unexpected amount of damage. Not that I'm complaining too much... until this year, with this load, I thought the term "bang flop" was a bit of an exaggeration. Not so now! Both deer took a combined total of 1 step. But both had silver dollar size exit wounds, and one had fragmented rib pieces in a good portion of the exit-side loin.
Given that I may not have the opportunity to zero a different load, I may finish the season with the good 'ol combo of a Savage 110 .243 with 80 grn Winchester Super X off the shelf from Wallyworld.
Or I'll save a tag or two for late muzzleloader.
But the weather has been nice, it's been a beautiful season so far, and either way I'm having as much fun as I ever have during deer season.
Happy Hunting, Folks!
