My daughter shots a 7mm-08 and wants to shot an elk with it. She took an antelope with it last year with a federal premium 140 grain nosler ballistic tip without a problem. This year she had an Oryx Tag so we went with a Federal premium 140 grain barnes triple shock and she dropped him at just over 200yds. I feel confident with her taking an elk with the barnes but not much farther than 200 yards i think the bullet loses to much energy.

Good luck John
