[QUOTE="73driver, post: 1957813, member: 36473"] Interesting choice in rifle. I hunted Elk a couple times with a REM Mod 7 20'' barrel in 7-08. Was pack hunting so wanted lite/compact/handy. I loaded up some 160gr Speer Mag Tips and figured my limit was 300 yards, which was fine because that was about as far a shot as I expected. My perspective is heavier bullets like 180/175 are better than lighter bullets, in 30cal I would prefer not to lighter than 165's. I look at momentum over energy and heavier bullets have more momentum to drive through a big animal. Think of it as if you'r in the supper bowl and your team has to stop Derrick Henry, do you count on a speedy 200 pound Dback or a capable savvy 250 pound linebacker? [/QUOTE]
