7-08 non lead ammo

14 yr old, New ruger american 7mm 08, must be Ca compliant unfortunately. 300yrd max.

Trying to avoid a round search. Anybody have any success stories/favorite rounds for this gun?

Thanks

We have found good accuracy with Barnes 120ttsx and Hornady superformance 139gmx.

I have a bunch too if you can't find any.

Barnes 120gr ttsx or nosler 140gr etips are the 2 I have firsthand experience with in 7mm08. The 120s recoil noticeably less and I have had very good success using them for the handful of deer and antelope Ive taken with them out to about 200 yds, all with consistent exit wounds larger than bullet and all Bang/flop kills. In my rifle they’re still north of 2000fps at 400 yards so I would be plenty condident in them expanding properly well past 300. The noslers are more accurate out of my rifle.

Barnes 120 gr TTSX have worked well for my grandson. Deer, hogs, aoudad, axis, coyote have been taken with it.

3 WRKs for Barnes 120gr ttsx. Got to be good on Boals.

Thanks

Barnes 120 ttsx have killed quite a few animals for me. The gmx shoot well but I don’t have any on game experience with them.

The now discontinued GMX worked very well, hopefully the CX will be the same or better

Now just need to find some ttsx 120s. Ca is lame.

120 grain TTSX for the win When I'm not shooting that out of one of my 7MM-08's its the 120 grain Ballistic Tips but the TTSX is a great little bullet.

120 TTSX is good deer/elk medicine

As a youth, using a 7-08 I killed several cow elk and mule deer bucks with both the 120 and 140 Barnes ttsx. Both work, 120 has my vote with 300 yard max little faster, little less recoil. Worked like a charm.
