My dad (77 years old) killed this bull two weeks ago at 225 yards, one shot right above the heart, 140 Accubond from his stainless T3 in 7mm-08. ![[Linked Image]](http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w84/pharmseller/image_zpsxnaeqkin.jpeg) P Isn't it great when you get the opportunity to "return the favor" for your dad?

Nice work guys - these are good times to be an elk hunter - premium bullets, good rifles we can afford, and lots of opportunity to use them. Hopefully I'll have another cow to add in the next few weeks.

It was great to arrange the hunt and roll his cartridges. P

I love the 7mm-08. it's almost a disappointment that so much can be taken from a ho-hum cartridge with so little recoil. Realized the same about my 280 after a 5 year killing stint with factory ammo 150 CoreLokt's. Totally negated "the need" for my Borden 300 WSM in process at the time.

Nice work! I love the 7-08 for the "one rifle for all NA game" cartridge.

Bruin point Congratulations on another fine elk!
We have used three 7-08 rifles to take elk and hope to take another cow this next week. All have fallen to a 140 Accubond with 42-42.5 grains of Varget. We love ours a lot and I have not seen a rifle yet that won't shoot accurately with Varget and an Accubond.
