I used to really like the 145 grain Speer Grand Slam in 7/08 and .280 for deer, goat, and elk. I read somewhere that Speer changed the design a few years ago. Some say its an improvement, others say its not as good now. I dont know.

I think I'd go with a 139 gr. Hornady GMX these days if going after elk with a 7/08.
