Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Effective range 7mm Rem Mag

I agree with what everyone else has said... BUT.. Lets say the shooter is up to the task, and he has a MOA gun with a range finder. A good rest, lots of practice, and not much wind. To me, the 7MM is a true 500+ yard elk gun. With a good brodside shot on an animal that isn't moving it could easily take an elk at 600+ yards. I'm not going to get into the ethics, but IMO, If the shooter is up to the task, the 7mm will easily take an elk a long, long way out.
