[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1654356, member: 9308"] For a LEAD CORE bullet, I think you want to be at least at 150 grain or heavier for elk, even if it is a 'Bonded' or 'Partition'-type bullet. For the all copper (mono-metal) bullets, such as Hornady GMX or Barnes TSX / LRX / TTSX- type bullets, you can 'safely' go down to 140 grains and still get full penetration but with more velocity as they retain nearly 100% of their weight. Looking at Midway's selection, here are some choices that would work on elk, using your friend's [B]7mm Rem Mag[/B]. I put them in order of price. If they are sold out at Midway, I'm sure a google search will find it somewhere else: [LIST=1] [*][SIZE=4]Remington HTP Copper Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 140 Grain Barnes TSX Hollow Point Boat Tail Lead-Free Box of 20 ($30 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Federal Fusion Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 175 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail Box of 20 ($30 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Federal Fusion Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 150 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail Box of 20 ($30 at Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Hornady Custom Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 162 Grain InterLock Spire Point Boat Tail Box of 20 ($35 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Remington Premier Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 150 Grain Swift Scirocco (Bonded) Box of 20 ($38 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Barnes VOR-TX Long Range Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 139 Grain LRX Polymer Tipped Boat Tail Lead-Free Box of 20 ($41 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Federal Premium Edge TLR Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 155 Grain Polymer Tipped Bonded Boat Tail ($43 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Federal Premium Vital-Shok Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 175 Grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw Box of 20 ($44 at Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Hornady Outfitter Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 150 Grain GMX Lead-Free Box of 20 ($45 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]HSM Trophy Gold Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 168 Grain Berger Hunting VLD Hollow Point Boat Tail Box of 20 ($49 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Barnes VOR-TX Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 150 Grain TTSX Polymer Tipped Spitzer Boat Tail Lead-Free Box of 20 ($50 at Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Barnes VOR-TX Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 160 Grain TSX Hollow Point Boat Tail Lead-Free Box of 20 ($50 @ Midway) [/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Nosler Trophy Grade Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 168 Grain AccuBond Long Range Box of 20 ($62 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=4]Nosler Custom Ammunition 7mm Remington Magnum 150 Grain Partition Spitzer Box of 20 ($72 @ Midway)[/SIZE] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
