I know of 23 elk that I've shot with one that may disagree.So... the 7mm-08 might be too light?

Good to know. Think I'm leaning towards the 7mm-08.I know of 23 elk that I've shot with one that may disagree.
Your 7mm08 is a "modern" 7x57! 120 TTSX or 150-160 Nosler Partitions. Sharp knife and take your strong Son's and Son in Laws to haul it out!Good to know. Think I'm leaning towards the 7mm-08.

Although I've never used it personally, the 147 has a reputation of being a great killing bullet.6.5x284 with 143 grain ELDX, looking hard at the Barnes 127 grain LRX though. The 147 ELDM's are tack drivers in my rifle but I'm worried about using a match bullet. So far I have taken zero animals with this rifle.
Both kill elk. Bullet selection is key for both. Solid coppers and bonded bullets work amazingly for those two calibers on elk.Might try either a .270 or .308.
Don't know if either are any good.
It was a bit of a joke.Both kill elk. Bullet selection is key for both. Solid coppers and bonded bullets work amazingly for those two calibers on elk.
I've also been shooting the Barnes 150gr in my .308 Win. The have been shooting great! I was wondering what limits you put on your shooting distance for elk with the .308 win.Same as last year. 338-06 with 185 gr TTSX and 308 win. with 150 gr. TSX are my go to elk rifles.
Got ya and thank you!It was a bit of a joke.
