[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1574814, member: 108965"] There are some soft bullets that at magnum velocities explode upon impact. Some of these are the common cup and core like Sierra Game Kings, Hornady SST's and Nosler Ballistic Tips amongst others. At the 7x08 and 308 Win speeds you'll rarely have this problem. On my 7x08 the 139gr SST and 140 gr Ballistic Silvertips do a magnificent job on deer and smaller game from 50 to 500 yards. On Elk I would use a 140gr bonded bullet or a Nosper Partition, they are tougher animals therefore need a tougher bullet to ensure deep penetration. Hope this helps. Regards LVJ76 [/QUOTE]
