If I were to use a Hot Core in 7MM, I believe I would go with the 160 gr. I run that one at 2600 FPS from a 7x57 using 7-08 data. My rifle is a modern Winchester M70 Featherweight. Even cow elk can be big and tough so I prefer more bullet weight. I would think if you went fo a lungs shot the 145 gr. bullet would work. Proper placement is was does the trick.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
