[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1870566, member: 108965"] I remembered this thread from a year ago. On the 7mm-08 for elk you can go hievier with the 154gr Interbond, 160gr Accubond and 162gr SST or even an ELD-X, and still be good out to 550 yds or more depending on load and with way more punch. Can't on a 6.5. Now if you want a load for a kid the 140gr Accubond or 139gr Interbond will work and with less recoil, I would even try the 139gr SST, on all my mulies I get pass throughs even when hitting bone, up close and up to 410 yds, my longest mulie kill. This cartridge/caliber also produces a wider wound channel, not that the 6.5 isn't enough, but the wider the wound the faster the animal bleeds out. Yes both kill, but would you rather that animal suffer for 5 seconds or 15. Bigger is Better. [/QUOTE]
