This mature doe was shot at a distance of approx 150 yards with my older Savage .308 rifle. One bullet through the chest organs did the job nicely for me. This is my first hunt with Remington's reduced recoil ammo and I'm impressed. Typically, I hunt with my 30-30 carbine but had a hankering to take out my "big rifle" for a hunt.

Thanks for the evaluation. I have a new daughter in law that wants to hunt. I'll try starting her off on some of that with the Ruger M77 I have for her.

That ammo in 7mm08 worked for my grandson on his first rifle. He took 3-4 does with it before he aged and grew and moved on up to full power ammo.
