What is your favorite 7-08 load?

44 gr Varget, 140 gr Nos BT, Fed 210M promer, Rem brass. 2780 fps (my rifle has always shot bullets about 50-100 fps slower than most folks), 1/2" @ 100 all day long. Longest kill - 232 yards. Buck was quartering toward my right, and his head was down eating grass. Since so much of the neck was exposed, that's where the bullet went it in - came out through the left lung. He went down like a cheap tent.

Y'all shoot straight!!!
