It is always amazing to me the direction that some of these threads take. The OP was looking for input on the 7-08 and bullets for elk. Mono performance at 7mag, 7 rum etc, etc. are of no consequence to what he asked for.

Monos perform flawlessly at high velocity, but CAN become problematic at lower velocity and longer range. Also, how they perform on deer is not a big deal either. He asked about elk.

The reason that the Abs and Parts are so recommended, is that they perform at a wide range of velocity. The Partition shines in a moderate-velocity round, as the front part expands very easily. The Ab is much the same. The Interlock is also very good at moderate velocity.

The 120-grain monos would be a fair choice, I believe, because you have plenty of velocity to utilize, but my choice would still be an AB or Part 140-grain at around 2800.
