Thanks Steve, supposedly the Alaskan is also bonded. You know, for almost 50yrs I have read about the effectiveness of the7x57/160gr/2600fps combo. Eleanor O'Conner used it on elk, etc just fine. I would think that the 155-160/6.5 around the same speed would work fine too. Sure, I know the lighter weight Monos will work as well, but under 200yds, the 155-160 going 2550-2600 can't be that bad of a choice, even for elk, at least in my 420 "mind", ha. ( Hey it was the 60's!)
