Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 7mm08 bullet selection

I concur with the above post, in the 7-08, a 140 nosler AB in that 2800-2900 fps range is tough on elk. I've personally shot 13 with the 7-08 and AB 140's, my wife has killed 2 and my brother 2 as well. Shots from 70-629 yards, have caught a few, but most have exited.

I've also shot another 11 elk with the 160 AB from my 7 RM at 2970 FPS, pretty much the same story, caught a couple, but most exited...from 25-620 yards..

The bullet I was most surprised with lately on elk is the 120 grain ballistic tip out of the 7-08 at around 2850...pretty impressive performance.
