[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1600488, member: 75451"] This my opinion, for what it’s worth. The 7 STW is designed for and capable of long distance shooting....if you go with the lighter bullet, particularly for elk, you are unnecessarily handicapping a fine long distance cartridge! I’d seriously take a look at the 168 grain LRX. If it doesn’t use up too much of the case capacity, due to bullet length, though starting out slower....will likely catch up with and pass the lighter bullet at longer ranges. Also, a heavier bullet when taking fairly large big game.....is never a bad thing! There is a 7 STW group on this forum, and they may be able to give much better information than I. memtb [/QUOTE]
