[QUOTE="wm5l, post: 230430, member: 10373"] I guess I will chime in on this. I am not an expert by any means but I love my Encore in 7mm-08 (15") it has HALF the recoil of my 12" 454 barrel!!! It is very easy to load for if you like. It will shoot almost anything over the counter good and the proper handload will put em all in 1 hole @100yds off a rest. Mine likes 140grain and up bullets. I think anything a ".308case" is a winner in a 15" handgun. I also like the 7mm IMHSA and the 7mm Bench Rest as well but don't have one right now. I have 5 other barrels for my Encore in different calabers but none of them shoot as good as the 7mm-08. I have a 28" pro hunter in it as well and it is a tack driver too. I guess I am a 7mm-08 "homer" if you will but it is a mild recoiling,great shooting cartridge that is very versitie for vermin or busting steel to Elk. Yes I would shoot an Elk with it without worrying if he was 150yds or so. My personal beast is a whitetail at 175 but hey this is central Texas and 100yds is a long shot here.
