I was at Sportmans this morning. They had 7mm-08 Hornady 150gr.
I have some Hornady Precision Hunter that is 150 gr. It’s what I’ll use if I don’t find any copper. The PH is not a bonded bullet though, which is weird. I don’t know why they still make hunting ammo in the old ways. So many better options these days.
Red, I just did another quick search for that ammo and came up empty again. That stuff is HARD to find.

I appreciate the continued efforts. I think I’ll just go ahead and dial in my Hornady Precision Hunter 150 grain and if the Federal copper finds me, I’ll adjust.

I'll look at my LGS the next time I get out. If I find some I'll pick up a box for you.

I was in Black Sheep in Coeur d’alene yesterday and while they had many different loads in 7mm08 there was nothing with a bonded bullet. I’ll keep looking but the clock is ticking for you. Crap!
