I bet you are my friend.
I'm in the Hornady fan club so most of my shooting is with them. I started my girls with SST's and had great success. One shoots a Marlin XS7 and the other is a Weatherby Vanguard Camilla. Both have 20" barrels and a 9.5" twist. SST's sling lead everywhere and I wanted to start eating the hearts, and now maybe save the organs for the dogs to eat. So I switched to Hornady GMX(all copper). Both guns shot them great. Then Hornady switched from GMX to CX. Still good. Then I decided I wanted a 7mm08. Bought a Tikka T3x Hunter. It has a 22.5" barrel and hates the CX bullet. Bought a bunch of different bullets to try out. It shoots ELD-X, Federal Fusion and Winchesters about the same. I went with the ELD-X because I'm a fan boy for Hornady. Fusions are bonded bullets and ELD-X's are cup and core. Nosler doesn't make partitions anymore? How come you can't get them? Any cup and core bullet should shoot good out of that gun. Remington just came out with a green "tipped" core lock. Maybe try that one.Love my 7-.08
Sad that I can't get Partitions any more in them... do you have a bullet of preference?0

What's the length of the barrel and twist rate on it ?I don't hand load, and can't find Partitions in 7-08 any more. Was buying Federal.
Currently have Hornady GMX in it, but haven't shot anything with them yet.
From what I've read (which isn't much), the shorter length of the BLR may not generate the speed needed for it to expand properly.
The Partitions were absolutely lethal, every dang time. Absolutely love them.
The 7-08 needs a catchy name like the Creedmore or Blackout.
It's perfect for whitetail but saying 7mm-.08 is just awkward... keeps it from taking off IMO.
What's the length of the barrel and twist rate on it ?
Right in the sweet spot for 139gr - 140gr bullets. Heaver bullets would want a faster twist so you're good for almost all factory bullets you see at the outdoor store on the shelf. Go buy ten different boxes of shells and see what groups the best.21.875"

Anyone wanna guess who only hunted until noon today?
You know… he watched you climb down, walk out, then turned to his doe and said “Watch this, I’m gonna make him cry.”
Before noon?
