I have shot and killed elk,deer,antelope here in Colorado with a 243,25-06,270,30-06,7mmRUM,338win mag,300 Lapua mag and a compound bow. All were dead. How dead do they need to be? Dead is dead
I'd like to see a 180 gr load work up on that 7-08!!!!I'll put my .02 cents in on this year old revived thread. I own two 7's, a 7-08 and a 280 AI. While carrying the 280 AI I have never felt under gunned. Oddly enough I purchased a 30 caliber this year but I'm in no hurry to work up a load and probably won't even take it on my elk hunt next year!
It's my whitetail rifle so I'm content with 120 and 140's at this time.I'd like to see a 180 gr load work up on that 7-08!!!!
Look up Alco, the bullet OAL is 1.6 for the 195 gain and the G1-BC is .932Id go 7mm RUM myself. That or a 7-300 WM. Load up some 195 grain Berger's and call it a day.

+1.30 cal you have a much wider selection of bullets.
Figured it had to be. Nothing new either…it seems at least once every 5 years someone "reinvents" the metal tipped rebated boat tail and somehow the thing has a bc that's impossible for any mainstream bullet manufacturer to approach (you know, the companies that spend thousands, perhaps millions, on creating the highest performing bullets possible). And people buy into the hype for a while. And then find out.that bc claim is false advertising .... I have the 195 gr, 208 gr & 226 gr bullets in 7mm & none of them come anywhere close to .932
