[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1834249, member: 108965"] Agreed faster isn't always better, unless you are using a monolithic or a bonded bullet. I wouldn't use a soft bullet on elk, that is why I posted for the OP to use a bonded bullet if he wants to use a 140gr bullet at magnum speeds. I'd rather use a 160gr or 162gr on my 7mm Rem Mag and I'll have more penetration at longer range Whether I use a 140gr Accubond or a 162gr SST, at 800 yds I'm still at 1,800 fps with over 1,100 ft/lbs of energy with both bullets but I know the heavier bullet will hold together better and penetrate more.
