Just saw a 180 scenar from a 7mm go through a nice sized cow elk at 525 yards yesterday. Went in behind the shoulder, screwed up a bunch of stuff and exited with a relatively small hole behind the shoulder.
Doesn't seem like a bad idea to use high bc bullets that work well, but our rigs are built for shooting longer and heavy bullets. In the shot situation yesterday there was a lot of open ground that didn't make sneaking closer an option. No worries, elk steaks in the freezer. And I am sure a lot of other bullets would have been just fine.
