[QUOTE="Marble, post: 1032865, member: 51354"] My experience with the 7mm and elk is with my gun, Browning A bolt, 7mm, 26" barrel and I shoot 150 siroccos. The bullet would sometimes go through and through at 400-550 yards, but not always. It mushroomed well, held together and was flat shooting. I never had one fall apart in an animal, nor did it make a lot of damage. I've loaded it for three 7mm and one short mag. All liked max charges or slightly higher of RL-22 and were 2/3-1 MOA. I seated the bullet .0010-.0020 off the lands. The other 7mm was a 7STW. He shot a custom Rem 700, 28" Shilen barrel IMR 7828 and a 160 Accubond. He killed several Elk in the 600-800 range using Kentucky windage. Sniper training in Vietnam and 35 years of hunting Elk made him a killer. [/QUOTE]
