[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 2332063, member: 101677"] Maybe with a 150gr gameking, bullet choice is a major factor in effectiveness, I use a 180gr hybrid in my 7rm and it’s worked well on elk at that range. To the op, That’s way too far for a 143gr bullet, it’s under 2000fps and 1100ft/lbs of energy at that range. Heck a 150gr sgk starting at 3200fps is around 2000fps at that range, so ur shot placement is becoming very critical, and a game king is a much tougher bullet, IMO the 143eldx is a great deer bullet but a poor elk bullet, way too much expansion early on if you hit heavy bone or even muscle. IMO you guys were shooting beyond your rifles capabilities with shot placement, you need a better bullet for the 7rm and just more cartridge instead of a 6cm for 600yard plus shots on elk [/QUOTE]
