Had to give the bows some love as well. I’ll take the 80lb “target” bow over the 70lb hunting bow even though it’s slower and heavier. It just shoots so much better in field, especially as the range increases.

Yeah, well, its a target bow but I don't shoot targets. I kill animals.
I must have it all wrong. Kill stuff with my .270 and cheap core locked Remington bullets. I point, shoot, it dies, we eat.

Can’t buy what guns I want so planning on loading my 7mm-08 with hammers (since I’ve heard do much about their terminal performance).
I have a stock Howa 1500.
Want to use it for my kids. Was looking at buying 6.5cm for deer, pronghorn, pigs.
Any thoughts on projectile or load data.
Greatly appreciate!

I would probably get the 120 HH and load it up with Varget or IMR 4166. Start at 38 gr and work your way up to pressure. Once you hit pressure back down 1 gr, go sight it in and you are ready to go.
I would probably use what I have more off. But I typically use standard primers for less than 60 grains and magnum for over 60.
It can go either way, just my preference.

Generally magnum primers will give higher SD's in cases <60 grains. Use what you have but standards would arguably work better in the 7mm-08.
If the question was for the lower 48 I feel like 100% that is the best choice.
