[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2185951, member: 108965"] Both the 168gr and 180gr Berger VLDH will stabilize just fine, I shoot both in my 7mm Rem Mag with a 1 in 9.25" twist. I have not tried the 162gr ELD-X, but have not read good things/reviews when used on elk especially at close range. The 162gr SST is an awesome bullet for the 7mm Rem Mag, can be pushed fast for long range and yet tough enough for close shots. Even though it's not bonded it holds together pretty well on elk and not to mention on deer. Seen several elk taken with it and it does a number on them. It doesn't have the higher BC of the other bullets you mentioned but it works great and kills fast. If this bullet would've been designed specifically for a magnum 7mm cartridge, Hornady could've not done a better job. For close range the 162gr SST or 180gr VLDH will work best, and provably also for long range. [/QUOTE]
