RE: Best 7mm Rem Mag cartridge for Elk??????
Muzilla - for some strange reason my 7mm didn't like the 160 grain Nosler Partition from Federal. I found my accuracy was better with the plain ole Federal Classic 175 grain HI-SHOK. I really wanted to use the 160 NP's because I believe they will outperfom the Classic, but I didn't want to sacrafice the accuracy and have found the bullet performance adequate with the HI_SHOK. I have since discovered amazing accuracy with the Speer Nitrex 175 grain Grand Slam bullet. The accuracy has been the best yet. But......I shot both a bull elk and bull moose last year, both at 100 yards, both accurate shots, but was not impressed the performance. Both animals required follow up shots. Then again, the 3rd animal I harvested last year was a nice 4X4 muley at 400 yards. One shot dropped it. Go figure. I guess the jury is still out on the Grand Slam. Perhaps I'll give it one more try this year. Good Luck.
