I hunt exclusivly with the 7-08. I would use a solidly constructed 140-150gr bullet and place my shot with complete confidence


Have to be OUT THERE!

No practical difference with good bullet placement. My .260 killed my one elk DRT at 150 yards. And a caribou @ 200 yards a month earlier, and a wolf at 40 yards 2 weeks later. I've been carrying it with confidence for moose hunting the last 2 years, but the moose have no confidence.... they've only given me a shot with the '06... smile



The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
