Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 7MM Remington Magnum for Elk

The 7mm works wonderfully on elk. I was given a 7mm Mag as my first rifle and I stuck with the caliber for almost 20 years. I have never had a elk, bull or cow, move much more than 15 yards after being hit. Most have dropped on the spot. I've used reloads that my stepdad worked up (not sure but I think they were 168gr noslers), federal premium factory 165gr NP, and recently downgraded to the federal power shock 175gr SP. The Blue Box Specials (along with the others) hit hard and are very accurate in both my Sako 75 and my sporterized M1917 Enfeild.
