[QUOTE="manitou, post: 1419943, member: 105280"] Don't underestimate the 7mm-08. I used to be a 7mm Rem mag nut and I don't feel underpowered with my 08's and .280s since I don't shoot game past 600 yards. I handload and have five one-shot kills on large whitetails in the 520-540 yard range with 120 gr pills out of 7mm-08s... more between 400-500 yards. Also have taken antelope over 520 yds. with the 08. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot elk to 500 yards with the 140 gr pills. A well constructed bullet and keep your ft lbs of energy about 1000 ft lbs for deer sized game and 1500 for elk. [/QUOTE]
