Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 168 VLD, 162 ELD-X, or 160 AB?

Not a 7MM RM but a 30-06 168 Berger (Federal factory). Twelve minutes will buy me 600yards and very accurate (half MOA). Unfortunately, my Elk was at 218 yards. Bullet entered the chest an exited the shoulder DRT.

At 700 yards I'm still at 1600+ fps.

I ran the numbers for HSM 7MM RM using a 168 Berger VLD. Advertised speed for this round is 3076. At 700 yards it's still smoking over 2000fps. Um...yeah if you do your part, that round will do it's job.
