Anyone run a 7mm 140 AB through an elk or two? Curious as to how those would perk compared to the 160. Thanks...

My hunting partner uses 160 AB in 7Rm factory ammo. He has killed 6 elk in 3 years with that rig. They work fine if you get into the boiler room. The cow he shot last year was quartering to us and bullet penetrated front shoulder and exited near the diaphram on the other side and she ran 150ish yards downhill. Zero blood trail, no hair or anything. Found the corpse after a couple hours of looking. Dead as a stone, but no trail.

Worked up a nice load for the 7mm mag of the wifes rifle in 160 grain bullet but we never got to go last season do to my health. It is real accurate down range and I am positive it will indeed sling an Accubond bullet clean through a bull elk's vitals at 400 yards. Remember it does have excellent B.C. for down range flight! I realize that shooting just one elk with a 160 Accubond is no real proof of how they are going to react on an animal but it was a good indication of accuracy and penetration at just under 300 yards.
