120gr Spitzer Sierra Pro hunter .284

Anyone have any experience with these bullets? I just ordered some to load up for my 7mm08 and wondering if anyone has had any dealings with them. I am currently shooting the 139gr SST that work well on our southern deer 200#'s and under. I have shot deer out to 250 yards and unless the projectile hits a large bone the entrance and exit hole are about the same size. Just looking for another load to tinker with.

Thanks in advance for any input.
 
you will not be disappointed, they have worked great for me in a number of rifles, and a xp 7br on similar size Ga deer

This is the bullet that I selected for my 7mm-08. Very good accuracy and terminal performance on deer is impressive. Sierra accuracy load data is where I started and stopped when doing load development.
 
I shot the 7/08 for a long time. It was with this round that I learned how to track hit deer. I never lost one, but most ran a good distance after being hit through both lungs. My theory is the 140 Gr bullets I was using were designed for 7mm Mag velocities. After I switched to the 120 Gr at higher velocity they didn't run as far.
 
Lung shots = running deer

Head/neck shots = DRT

Shoulder shots = DRT most of the time

It is very difficult to re program yourself after seeing all those magazines with the cross hair behind the shoulder...till you loose a few~!
