Was given my dads 7mm 08 and wanted to take an Elk with it in his memory. Was concerned about the energy at 400 yards or more. This is a very flat round out to 500 with still holding 2227 ft-lbs. on my hunt this year in Walden CO i had a shot at 338 yards with a cow elk at last light. Took the shot with a Leupold Scope VX 6 18-44 CDS on top my 7mm 08. had a great front left shoulder shattering the bone and turning the heart into a bundle of bubbles with no exit. The round over performed on my expectations. She didn't walk more then 10 feet. Great round I'm a Hormady fan for ever.
