[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 1869967, member: 105681"] My kids shoot the 6.5 CM and the 7mm-08 at deer with great results. My daughter kills elk with her 7mm-08 Browning Micro hunter Xbolt. It's very effective with 150 grain Nosler Partition's and we have a 400 yard maximum self imposed rule on elk. I just feel it's foolish and irresponsible to shoot an animal as large and hearty as an elk beyond that range with cartridges not producing 1200 ft lbs of energy. Way too much meat to waste to pad my ego. Shooting elk over 500 yds should be left to the big 277's i.e. wsm Noz. or Weatherby's, 280 AI, 7 mags, 30 and 33 calibers. I do like your plan of the 7mm-08 & 300 yds. Very successful plan of attack. [/QUOTE]
