I've got a 20" 7mm-08. I was thinking about trying 140 NAB or NPT, 139 LRX, or 150/162 ELDX.
140 NAB/PT, whichever shoots better, or 150 ELDX, I have elk experience with all three from the Mighty -08. I’d think the 162 would be too slow, especially out of a 20” barrel.
I’ve kilt a couple or three elk with the 162, but out of a 7mm Rem Mag. It’s my go-to bullet for that cartridge.
