I have found a good deal on a Handi in 7mm-08 that I think I'll purchase. I don't handload, so can anyone recommend a good, reliable, accurate factory load for deer for this gun?

Hornady 139 grain light magnums..............shoot great in my Stevens 200 7mm-08, Handi 7-08 and Encore 7-08 pistol.

Bama;

I'd give the Remington 120gr. HP a try. I've used it on deer here in Alabama and Tennessee and I haven't lost one yet. The bullet goes in and hardly comes out. And they go down where they were hit. I think it's the best factory round out there. And I've been using it since 1989.

I shoot Remington 140gr AccuTip BoatTail's. Have had great luck with them.
