7MM-08 Favorite Factory Ammo?

[BCD]

Hi All-

I'm looking at buying a 7MM-08 XBolt. What are some suggestions for factory ammo for whitetails and also for Elk?

Thank You!

I use barnes 120 gr. TTSX in my savage axis. Factory load is accurate and fast and I prefer lead-free options for my hunting purposes. I wouldn't shoot an elk at 500 yards with it, but I can't see that far where I hunt. Or see that far in general at this point.

Plenty of good choices out there, my 2 favorites are the Barnes 120 grain ttsx and Nosler 140 grain accubonds

If you can find it there's a lot to like about factory Nosler 120 grain Ballistic Tip ammo. Shoots great out of all my 7MM-08's and have yet to catch one in a critter Or another option that has worked well is the Fusion 140 grain stuff, used to be a great not uber expensive choice.

150 eldx shoot well out of my Ruger American.

Another vote for Barnes TTSX 120 or 140gr.

I have used Barnes TTSX 120 grain, Nosler E-tip and Accubond 140 grains. I would shoot whichever is most accurate in your rifle. All work very well on game

Federal blue box 150 grain is an overlooked gem of shots will be kept inside 250. The 140 fusion is a definite favorite though.

Federal Fusion has a great reputation.

Have shot everything in AK but brown bear and bison with Barnes TTSX. I almost look like I know what I’m doing at the range when I shoot it

I’m still shooting up my Federal premium 140 grain Nosler BTs for whitetails but looks like they are discontinued. I probably have about another 3 years supply but seeking to find a replacement ammo last I bought some Nosler brand ammo in 140 grain BTs. They feed and shoot as good as the federals in my rifle. I haven't used them hunting yet but i have no reason to believe they wont do as good the federals with the same bullet.
