Have had numerous clients kill elk out to 500yds using the 7mm-08. Had my wife one built several years ago, and have seen numerous animals killed with it, from hogs up to mule deer and elk. There has been several times that I have had clients guns not show up at the airport, and several have shot this rifle for elk. Numerous ones came back the next year with a new 7mm-08. Im not a fan of accubonds, but that is just my personal opinion. Put the bullet in the right place and no matter the distance, it will do what it is supposed to do.
Great round.
