Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Opinions on 7-08 for Elk?

I was looking for a 7mm-08 barrel to fit to the Rem 725 SA, but what I came up with was a .260 700 TI bbl. After lapping the bolt, the headspace was a bit tight on the guage, no headspacing work required, but chambered all factory rounds, even if the bbl was exactly upside down according to it's stampings.

150 yards, 140 gr Corelokts. DRT. My son knocked a cow caribou kicking at 200 yards several weeks before, and 2 weeks after the elk(same bullet, factory load) I scored a wolf at 40 yards, ( - part of a pack that was shadowing us in the thick stuff alongside a FS trail. This one came out in the open to invite my Lab to "Come Play".

Don't see why a 7-08 chambering would not do as well.
