[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 821773, member: 12995"] It's good to see someone who understands hunting....It's not always gonna be a dead in their tracks shot. Part of hunting is the tracking. I've shot whitetail deer with a 160gr Barnes dead in the shoulders and barely found any blood, and almost didn't find the deer. It's not necessarily the size of the game, or how good or bad your shot is. Sometimes things just don't go as planned. I have never shot an elk, but it is logical to think a 7mm 180gr VLD will knock a nice hole in an elk, traveling out of a big-bore 7mm like a 7mm STW, 7mm Dakota, or something like that, being that it's only 30gr lighter than a .308 210 or .338 210 and is way more aerodynamic and much higher BC than a .338 210gr bullet. The 7mm 180gr Berger VLD has a G1 BC of .659. The Barnes TTSX 210 in .338 caliber has a G1 BC of .482. [/QUOTE]
