I shoot a new 300 win mag with swaroskvi scope, but I shot my first elk with a 7mm 08 at 480 yds and knocked it dead with one shot. 130 grain bullet, killer gun for deer also. Shhhh! :-$ What ever you don't don't let Nonya see that quote! Silly mossback didn't you know the little old 7-08 can't kil...

Sweet pics!! I'm convinced the 7mag with 160 partitions is every bit of a .30 cal witha 180 no doubt!! Not irritated in the least! Glad to have met ya. I've had a good time! I got some more info for ya to ponder tommorow!! Who knows maybe you'll learn a thing or to. And remember I never said 140's w...

Don, I almost bought a 7x57 in a Ruger #1. Still wish I woulda. Got the next best thing in the 7-08. It took me years of slingin 180 gr bullets outa several different 30 cals to grab my balls and step down to a 7-08 and 14 gr pills. Funny thing is now after several years I actually feel like I've ta...

NONYA I'm thinkin you should definately not shoot at elk over a 100yds with anything less than your 7 mag and 160's. I feel that confidence is 90% of killin. And you should stick with what you know. I've got 14yrs combined with my son and 7-08 kills . been around and in on alot of elk killin. Don't ...

NONYA, Not here to cause problems. OK? From my experience with .284's and .30 cals there isn't alot of difference in the kill it self. the 140's will run a bit faster and flatter. The 160's should penetrate more. They are running 120 tsx's at 3100fps or so in the -08. Thats fast, flat and the TSX wi...

Here's a video of what the 120gr TSX dose outa the 7-08 on a big black bear in Alaska!!!

If you don't end up handloadin, I wouldn't worry about the difference between the 160 and 140's. I really doubt the critter is gonna notice 20 more grs.

He'll be dead either way!

Good luck and let us know how your season goes!!

I muzzleload elk. the -08 has for my kid dumped a 250pd plus buck at 257 yds. I have several friends that use the -08 with 120 tsx in alaksa on caribou and black bear. federal offers 140 grain partition, Accubond and TSX. also as a hand loader you can get bullets up to 175 for the -08. Including one...

Uh-huh,sure,whatever u say. :dumb So is that a big no on experience with a 7-08? Thought so. That "I'm with stupid" might be on the front of the shirt your wearing? Go fourth and get a 7-08 kill with it for about 7 years then comment. When I ask for help on a subject , the last thing I wanta hear i...

Nonya "overkill" definition "much more of something than is necessisary or right" "more effort than is needed to get something done" I gotta ask? Do you have any experience killing with a 7-08? With a statement like "light on elk over a hundred yards" . I doubt you have ever killed with one. Cuz if ...
