ORIGINAL: skeeter 7MM

AnytimeI can I am glad to lend a hand.

Since your looking for 08' elk and in the USA may want to think about barnes original 300 gr. .458" xpb bullets, they make a limited once a year run and from what i have heard they are terrific performers in the Savage. Being in Canada it isn't a reality for me to try them so I am stuck with other choices[&:]. BTW their is afella who lives in Ont. Canada and makes a 300gr bullet that also has been getting good reviews, he is a member and posts on Dougs board (check under the trade blanket section).

I shot upmy supply of 300gr SW last year under VVN110, VV120 & IMR 4759. With the same HPH24 sabot they performed well with the later 2 powders. With N110 has been a bear for me about the only way i can get consistent groups with it is 43gr under .451 250 xtp which is not the most effecient at 200 and beyond. Though cost effective. I picked up a pile of 300gr SST at a gun show so I'll see how they fair, I know the 250grshoots lights out in mine and othersI know 10II's.

If your wanting to pretty much shoot 300 class bullets I'd suggest IMR4759SR (for your book powder) and then either (58-63) VVN120 or H4198(64-68). VV is so darn unpredictable with regards to availability in my neck of the woods thus I am going to try the ever stocked Hodgdon powders. I know in my rifle the N120 can be made to achieve my underlying premise so I will be saving the little better then 1/2a canI have for the event I am up against the wall and then have to anty up to have to mail order it for the future.
