I shoot the 168 lrab in my 7mm Remington mag, using h1000 powder. Loads chrono 3080 in the 26 in barrel. The load holds .75 moa to 700 yards on steel plate.
I've shot 3 whitetail bucks, 2 at a bit over 200, one at 643 yds, no bullets recovered and the bullet damage was adequate. All were one shot kills, other than ribs no major bones hit.
I've also shot a large cow elk at around 230 yards. The bullet struck her right below the onside shoulder breaking the upper bone of the leg, went through heart and lower lungs, and was found under the hide off side. The cow ran about 15 yards and collapsed. Shot placement was off a bit due to a 40 mph crosswind, which was a reason I shot as close as I did. My intent was to try a longer range shot on a cow elk, but the high winds prevented that. Expanded size was .545", weight was 92 grains.
