My 7-08 has mostly been pretty easy to feed. So far its favorite meal has been Barnes 120 grain Barnes XBT with a moderate load of IMR 4895. It shot pretty much everything from 130 grain Speer Hot Cor to 150 grain Core-lokts fairly well, and always did well with 140 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips as well. My rifle is a Rem 7, so not a target rifle thus I haven't tried target bullets or any long range precision work, it lives for the woods and deer season, but doesn't get much "play time" anymore. However I know it is there, ready willing and able to go.
