[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1460385, member: 68875"] I like the idea of the 7-08AI pushing a 160-175 for elk out to 500 over a 6.5CM pushing a 140. Although, people have been killing elk and moose sized game for a LONG time with 6.5mm bullets from cartridges like the 6.5x55 Swede. I just personally like a bit bigger and heavier bullet myself. Or, you could try the 150-160 Matrix bullets out of your current 6.5CM, bump way up in BC for downrange retained velocity and energy. I bet you could get 2700+ from the 150, and probably close to that with the 160, and Sectional Density is fantastic for penetration. Let's just say you push the 6.5mm 160 Matrix VLD to 2700fps. @ 6000'AMSL & 30°F, that leaves you with 2169fps & 1672ft/lbs @ 500 yards. Or....2071fps & 1524ft/lbs @ 600 yards. [/QUOTE]
