Thinking of using a 7mm-08 for a lightweight elk rifle out to 250 yds. 154 hornady sp handloaded, no running or angle shots will it work?.
Short answer is: It will work fine with correct shot placement.
I've killed three elk with a 7mm-08 - all using 140 gr TTSXs. Any decent bullet, including the 139 or 154 gr Hornadys, would have killed the same elk placed in the same spot.
