[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 675980, member: 2736"] I did not have much luck with the Barnes @ anything 200 yards + because of 7/08 velocities (avg 2200 ft/sec over 200 yards) but they worked well in my 7 STW pushed beyond a mv of 3450 ft/sec On large game like Elk I would use the 150 ballistic or the 160 Accubond because of it's predictably. I am a believer in 225, 250 grain .338 bullets for elk so I have never shot one with the 7/08. I would not recomend the 120 for Elk because of there size and weight. I have no doubt that it would kill them if shot placement was behind the shoulder, but You would have to track them and in some areas that can be bad. I would recomend a larger cartrige with lots more energy but if that's all you have then keep the distance to the point that impact velocity will be above 2400 ft/sec. The Barnes should do ok if you hit heavy muscle (Like the neck)But the energy with the 7/08 drops below 1500 ft/lbs around 250 yards and that would be My limit with any bullet on Elk. The 7/08 is one of my favorite calibers and I have killed more game with it than all other cartriges put together but it does have it's limits like all cartriges. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
