Look into the Rem 120 Grain HP. Wicked on whitetail.

Re: new encore barrel 7-08
Lotta folks rave about 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. Word is that they hold together much better than what you'd expect from that bullet, and I've seen cutaways that indeed show a much thicker jacket than other weight ballistic tips. With that said, for my one and only experience, the bullet didn't hold together well. But the deer died quickly.
Im trying to find a load using 120 TTSXs that shoot well now.
Check out 24hourcampfire. Tons and tons of 7-08 fans there. The ballistic tip and ttsx are favorites.

If they make a factory round with the Hornady SST, I would suggest that one. I think they should hold together perfectly at 708 velocities. I use them in my 280 Remington and have no complaints.

Re: new encore barrel 7-08
I have found my gun shoots the Hornady 139 gr SST the best.. It does not like the federal ammo at all
Re: new encore barrel 7-08
echoing whats already been said. the hornady 139 gr superformance in SST or GMX are amazing.
