Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 7MM-08 for my first elk hunt?

140 TTSX broke both shoulder blades and exited on this bull at about 60 yards from a 17” barreled 7/08. Impact velocity was about 2600 FPS. Found one petal of the bullet in the off side shoulder meat.

Bull went 20-30 yards, blowing chunks of lung out his nose.

I was pretty impressed with the performance.



Front shoulders.... entrance side on the right, exit on the left....
