Federal offers a 150 grain Speer Hot-Cor in their Classic line.  I'd go with the 140 grain Nosler Partition load that they offer in their Premium line.  I use Nosler Partitions almost exclusively in rounds that take spitzer bullets.  Midway carries both types of Federal ammo.

I would use the 140's for deer...........

Try the Hornady Light Magnums in 140gr.  They shoot very well in my rifle and at 3000fps, they are only 150fps behind a 7mm Remington Magnum.

I've been using 140 gr. bullets out of my 7-08 and .280, and never had a bad experience one. I can't get the 150 gr. ammo to shoot worth a darn out of the 7-08. 140 gr. is great though.

Ask GB that  140 grain will kill a 500 lb deer. Go with Hornady never look back! :lol:
