[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2212387, member: 108965"] Depends what weight you want to use. a 140gr Partition or Accubond will be good out to 350 to 400 yds max. I do consider this too light of a bullet for elk though. With the 160gr versions 400 to 450 yds would be your max. By max I mean you still have 1,500 ft/lbs of energy to inflict some good damage on the animal. I'd shoot a 168gr VLDH or 162gr SST. With both bullets @ 500+ yds I'm still carrying 1,500 ft/lbs of energy and well over 1,800 fps. The 162gr SST would be my choice though, it's violent and tough at the same time. Sorry, I'm not a fan of the Accubond, especially at non magnum speeds. I don't like the small holes and little damage it does to lungs at 7mm-08 speeds. I've witnessed two kills, two very slow kills with them. I cant apeak for the 150gr and 168gr Accubond LR, I have not tried them or seen them at work. [/QUOTE]
