I have shot the 7mag for many years. I have killed gobs of deer using the 139-grain Interlock loaded to 3100 fps. The 140 Accubond or Partition is also good.

My favorite elk load is a Partition loaded to 3000fps. I have killed elk at 326, 400 and 443 yards using this load.

Out to 500 yards, you will not need to worry about splitting hairs with bc. All that bc crap is good for, is if you intend to push it to 800-1000 yards and beyond.

I got my first rifle cheap in a trade, or I would probably be shooting an 06, but I have sure had good luck with my 7 mags.

They have been pretty much shelved, as I do not hunt elk much anymore and my .308s get the most use on deer. I will soon be adding a .260 Rem to that group, too.

You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
