.284 works magic....in any cartridge. I use it's big brother too, the .280 Rem as well as the 7x57. Hard to beat any one of the three 
how is 7-08 in the field?

I owned a Rem.,Model 7 and a Model 700 BDL DM. in 7mm08. I shot 140gr. Reminton factory loads. The deer that I killed with 'em,never knew what hit 'em.

My 700 BDL stainless 7-08 has taken 2 deer with 120 grn softpoints. No problem anchoring both. Easy round to load for and quite accurate overall.

After taking 2 deer this past week with my 7mm-08, I've got a good review for the Corelokt 140gr @3005fps and a still undetermined for Barnes TSX 120gr @3070fps.
Corelokt took a 200# 12 point at 30yds quartering away. 3 or 4 steps and it was down. Entered the left side at the last rib (broke 2 ribs) and stopped under the right shoulder hide after breaking one more rib and going through the scapula. Massive internal damage.
Barnes TSX @175 yds 80# doe shot through the right side just behind the shoulder and exited left side. Heart was almost cut in half vertically and the bottom 2 inches of the heart was completely detached. Doe ran 40-50 yards.
Corelokt was very impressive. It did its job very well on a tough angled shot on a large deer. The Barnes TSX did not have quite the same tough test, but it did it's job also.
