[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1889989, member: 108965"] All the bullets that you mentioned are good hunting bullets and in my experience heavier bullets penetrate more. For deer in my 7mm-08's the go to bullet is the 139gr SST, it just kills fast, for Elk a heavier bullet would ve best to ensure proper penetration, its a tougher animal so better be safe than sorry. And yes the lighter bullet is going 150 to 200 fps faster but the heavier and higher BC bullet will out run the lighter one and with more ft/lbs, example the 162gr AMax/ELD will have 1,150 ft/lbs at 600 yds while the 139gr SST will only have 1,035 while both are atill going around 1,830 fps.
