I would look hard at the 150 gr. Scirocco. Controled expantion design with a BC of 0.52 and good weight retention. Should be compatible with the twist in the 7MM-08 with a 22" barrel. My .280 Rem has been up to the task on 4 bulls pushing a 160 gr. Win. Fail Safe load (2800 FPS + or minus) that was discontinued back in the 90's. The .280 is only 90 FPS slower (+ or -) then a Rem 7 Mag. with the same load. Your 7MM-08 is even more efficent with slightly less velocity generated from a smaller case. Resulting in a lighter, shorter, quick pointing rifle with less recoil and muzzle blast. What's not to like? The elk might know the difference on a well placed shot.
