Hope and I recently got notified we'd been drawn for a trophy unit in NM. Hope shoots a 7mm-08ai (24" barrel), and I'd been planning on her using the 120 gr TTSX for our next elk hunt. She has used this bullet for several years with very good success on white tail deer here in MO with a MV of a little over 3200 fps. Since we got this draw, I am re-thinking whether that may be the best decision or not. This is her gun with a stock sized to fit her 5-3 frame, and she shoots it well. Am I over thinking this?
