[QUOTE="Peter Morton, post: 1985991, member: 115450"] I have an old Stevens 200 in 7-08 with a slow twist (11.5?)... So, it will only stabilize a 120 grain or so, depending on design. I use the Barnes 120 TTSX over 43.5G of Varget at 3000fps. After seeing its performance on deer and hogs, I'd use it on elk. Maybe out to 400 yards? But my limit is probably 300 in the field. I know that my load/rifle holds to 3/4" moa out to 300 yards. Faster twist rates would allow for bigger bullets. Heavier means longer, so I'd want to know the rifle's twist rate and your expected range before I'd pick a bullet. [/QUOTE]
