[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 118656, member: 3733"] [b]Re: 7mm 168 smk. Who\'s used this on elk sized game?[/b] Well I loaded up the 160AB with a different powder and I am going to shoot for groups when the wind fades. It's at the 3000fps mark. I had it up to 3100 with no real apparent pressure problems, but when I'm passing 7mm rem mag velocities, it's wise to back it off. I'm just not sold on the 7mm smk for big elk, and I don't want to make this trip an experement. If I was shooting 200smks out of a 30 I would feel fine. I'm going to work on this Accu-Bond until I find a combination I like. Or until it hoplessly frustrates me and I give up. I scoped my 300win I built just in case, weight is an issue with that gun however. rem 25-06, Them bc's is what got me trying to stay with the AB. the 168 smk looks kind of pittiful at .494. I may have to order some 162 A-max, I sure like the 6.5mm 140gr. [/QUOTE]
