[QUOTE="7mmVmax, post: 1597621, member: 109588"] A few years back purchased a Ruger American in 7-08 as back up deer gun and youth rifle for grandson. Loaded up 150 gr Nosler Partitions and got reasonable accuracy with that rifle. Granson took a large cow elk at 243 yds. Head on brisket shot pased between both lungs, missed spine and heart. Virtually DRT. Tested this load by shooting into water-filled 1 gal milk jugs and got well over 30 inch pen. Note that recoil will depend on rifle wt. Ruger American is pretty light but grandson was ok with recoil. Same grandson took an antelope @ 330 yd w/6.5 cm (Bergara B15). Horn 143 ELDX passed thru both shoulder blades, DRT. No experience with 6.5 CM on elk. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
