Looks like I'll have another year's supply of pork. I let the 7MM Rem Mag with 160 gr AccuBond bark and here is the results.
It was 7:00 am Saturday morning and I was heading down the hill along the river when my eye caught movement to the right. The big boy just finished grabbing his morning water and heading back up the hill to his bed. By the time I got out of the jeep and put my rifle on the sticks, he was 200 yards exactly. I put the crosshairs right on his shoulder and squeezed the trigger. He folded like a ton of bricks...didn't squeal or make a sound. Fortunately, he rolled down the hill 40 yards which made for easy recovery. The AccuBond crushed his shoulder and did some terminal damage to his lungs. The bullet did not exit the other side. As usual, I was very impressed with it's performance. His live weight was 300 lbs and when I got him to the butcher, he was 145 lbs hanging meat (minus head, intrails, and hide).
Looking forward to trying the AccuBond on Elk this October.
