[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 888766, member: 9736"] I had a 7 WSM and worked up a load for the 168 gr Bergers. It shot incredibly well. I built mine from a long action Savage 111 so the magazine box was plenty long to load multiple rounds. I was getting about 2980 fps from the 168's. I think a good elk range would be 500 or less. The accuracy was there but when I shoot an elk I want serious energy. I didn't try the 180's but depending on the magazine box length I think unless you single load them they wouldn't fit. The 168 Berger was a potent round. I shot a pig at a little over 250 yards and it picked him off his feet. Broke two ribs going in and jellied the insides. No exit. I am sure it would do great on elk at reasonable distances. [/QUOTE]
