[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 668357, member: 22030"] Can't argue with any of that. An animal's hide, especially a thick hide like an elk has a heck of a lot of elasticity to hold that bullet. It takes alot of energy to make it that last little bit and it shows by how many bullets get recovered there. Kinda like dropping a shotput on a trampoline, it absorbs the shock and rebounds. Like you said though, a bigger and deeper wound channel doesn't hurt and a deeper wound channel improves your chances of an exit. I have nothing against a 7 at all, if I could only have one rifle for everything I do it would be a 7. It is one of my all time favorites. I have kinda gone away from it recently because I had my old standby rifle re-barrelled to a 264WM and also am building a real light 270 win. I plan to use 140gr accubonds in the 270 and already use them in the 264 so I was thinking I should step up past the 7 mag to the 300 when I draw an elk tag again someday and get a new rifle. I can tell a significant difference in recoil when I start trying to push a bullet over 140gr to 3000fps, and I'm trying to get rid of my flinch. My old Colt light rifle in 7 mag really showed a difference in recoil between the 140 and 160's. Once the 270 win is done my next project will be a 300WM in a Browning A bolt TI with a brake to shoot the 200gr AB. [/QUOTE]
