I used the exact same setup last year (7mmremmag with 160gr AB) to harvest both Bull's - Elk and Moose. While I never really encountered heavy bone (ie shoulder on either shot) the bullet did a job on the vitals and had complete pass throughs with good sized exit wounds. In both case the animals never made it out of my sight before hitting the ground. The elk was approx 150 slight quarter shot and the moose was 100 yard range broadside. I have no quams about using them again for elk or moose and even in a heavy sluggin situation. If your expecting longer shots I think the likes of the AB will perform very well!

Prior I used the NP with equally good results. In the end it came down to accuracy, but I must amdit my curiousity on how the AB would fair was high...so far more than pleased.

You may also want to try the Winchester failsafe a great bullet for bigger game and especially heavy bone encounters, if concerned. I have used it prior with great results, however my current 7mmremmag does not chuck them as well as others...YET!
