I shoot 140gr Accubonds and Ballistic tips on mine, the ballistic tips provide better blood trail if I take lung shots. In shoulder shots they both perform excellent by dropping them in their tracks. I have recovered all deer and pigs I shot with both bullets. Also add a limbsaver for the recoil.

It’s been ridiculous hard to find. I’ve got a featherweight and recoil isn’t bad at all. Most recently shooting hornady American whitetail 139. I don’t know if my gun doesn’t like them or got a bad batch. 2 boxes have had a lot of primer strikes didn’t go off. No issues with 2 other brands.

Federal Fusion is good ammo if you can find it. Most of the modern day name brand ammo manufacturers have quality machinery that produce pretty accurate munitions in that the tolerances are pretty precise.
In terms of recoil? I know your wife. She's tough...she won't even flinch at that 7mm 08 kick trust me. [emoji12]

I have the dies to reload 7mm-08. I just don’t have the time
Ammo is crazy hard to find. That’s the reason the gun I bought was for sale in the first place.

Dang it. I have searched all over for any 7mm-08 ammo. There’s nothing available. If anyone has any they don’t need I’d buy it. I was hoping to take the wife hog hunting soon with her new rifle. Then I have an Axis hunt planned for her in April. That will be bow hunting for a buck. I wanted the rifle for a doe head shot to tan the hide.
