What are your thoughts on a 7mm-08 with 140 gr Accubonds at 2960 fps and an elk out at 500yds. .
I have carried my 7-08 elk hunting (loaded with 150 Partitions at the time) but not killed one with it, so I’m just spitballing here..... At 500 I’d smack it with a 162 ELDM. At more normal ranges the 140 Accubond should work fine, though I’ve only killed deer with that particular Accubond. Accubonds are good bullets, and 7-08 velocities at normal hunting ranges are about perfect for them. It’s not going to blow up, it is going to expand, and it is going to penetrate.
