[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 136201, member: 3733"] Swift one, At 2700fps a 162gr a-max will have 1635fpe at 500 yards, assuming an altitude of 6,000 feet. All the gun writters in the world consider this minimum on elk. This same bullet would still carry over 1,000 fpe to 900 yards. Want a stouter bullet? The 154 grain Interbond at 2800 fps will have 1533 fpe at 500 yards and still have over 1,000 fpe at 800 yards. So is the 7mm 08 a 500 yard elk gun? yes. If I was hunting smallish bulls and cows I wouldn't have a problem carrying one. If after a trophy bull I would grab the 30-06 at a minimum. Shot placement has to be good, as with anything, it's just assumed your going to put the bullet where it needs to go. [/QUOTE]
