Was just wondering if someone could recommend a brand that there’s liked.

BAR Safari .270 here.

I'm not much help on the 7mm-08 end... I was always a Remington core lockt guy growing up, but mine shoots Winchester soft points in better groups. They come in 130 gr. and 150 gr., I've noticed the heavier bullet seems to shoot better groups over the lighter round.

Since my longest shot at my favorite stand is only about 150ish yards. 150 gr. Winchester soft points it is.

I had hell finding them last year, but caught the guy unboxing some at Academy this summer. I bought 5 boxes of 20. That should hold me for the next decade or two of sighting in/making sure it's still on before season and shooting deer.



Eta: Congratulations on the gun. I think it's one of the most beautiful rifles made. My dad always made me shoot bolt action Ruger M70 as a kid and a guy in our camp had a BAR. I always admired it. I knew when I got older I'd have one and sure enough one fell in my lap during the Obama ammo craze. I made an amazing trade for it.
