    I would call before I ordered.

    I have a youth 7mm08 that shoots them like a custom rifle.
    I strongly suspect that’s a scam site. When you go to the site it says “Winchester FIRday Sale”.

    I ran across a similar site recently that had great prices and availability on some ammo that nobody else had in stock so I called the company it was “supposed to be”. The woman told me they knew about the site and that it had been up for a few weeks, but was a complete scam.

    The XP’s are also a ballistic tip round, just not the black and silver variety.

    HH, I have also been looking for the SBT’s for the last two years and ended up trying the Deer Season XP’s. A few weeks ago when zeroing a new scope on my REM M7 I got a 7/8” three shot group. Although I haven’t shot any deer with them, they get solid reports so I’ve got no concerns there. Btw, I had two SBT’s left and they and the XP’s pretty much shot to the same POI with the M7’s 20” SS barrel… YMMV.

    The guys in the FB 7mm-08 forum also tout the 120 gr Barnes TTSX and the 140 gr Accubond, for what it’s worth.

    I shoot the hornady sst 139g out of one of the 7-08 and the hornady American whitetail out of the other. Both great bullets

    Same exact bullet without Lubalox coating.

    These are really good folks to deal with.

    Any recommendations on a good round to replace them with? Even better if someone knows where to find a few boxes of what he currently shoots since that round has done well.
    Call Nosler. Sometimes they have seconds for a decent price. Used a lot of them over the years. Never a problem.
    If it ain\'t accurate at long distance, then the fact that it is flat shooting is meaningless.
