| I have the same rifle, and have shot everything from Hornady 120 gr HP's to Speer 145 gr Hot Cor's, and all were extremely accurate. |

| Most 7-08s that i have seen...including my own are at their best with a 140 grain bullet. I have seen several posts praising the 120 grainer as well. I just never saw any need to drop in bullet weight. Although that 120XBT should be one helluva deer bullet. |

| Jay is right, all of them will work. Maybe the 195 grain Barnes which is not made any more to my knowledge might be a little heavy for the 7/08. Just the case, not the twist rate.

I just purchased a Winchester Featherweight in 7mm-08 with a 9 1/2 twist. What weight of bullet should I use for this rate of twist? Thanks for any help.
Leo - I own a Savage Sierra in 7mm-08 and I use 140 grain Fail Safes for everything. My son used it last year to get his elk, worked just fine. |

| Hi The 7mm-08 will shoot 'em all well.. The 9.5" twist isn't really a factor here. Decide what your needs are and choose a bullet accordingly. Work up a load and go hunt.  |
