My son-in-law became a believer in my little 7mm-08 this year. He was using my Rem Model 7 with 120 grain BT's. He took a shot at a 165 lb 8 pt Michigan Whitetail at about 80 yds. Shot him in the brisket... head on shot. Well, that buck dropped and never even quivered he said. The bullet entered just below the neck and didn't exit. He said the liver looked like it was put through a blender. As he field dressed the animal we didn't find the bullet, but he learned that you don't have to beat yourself up to have a very effective deer round. I love these deadly rounds that produce so little recoil that you can watch the deer drop thru the scope.
Unfortunately, I didn't see any legal bucks during our hunt but 4 of 6 guys connected on legal deer with 3 or more points on one side.
A 7mm 110 grain variant of the 110 grain .270 AB would be a great bullet for the proliferation of lightweight rifles out there. But I certainly can't complain about the 120 Grain Nosler Ballistic Tip, I've used it for years and never experienced a story with with a sad ending.
