7 08 Barnes 120gr ttsx for elk?

[GDJ]

Looking for opinion on 7 08 Barnes TTSX for bull elk up close. Talking about 50-100yards, 200 max. I have 300win mag for longer distances, this would be in case I gotta go in thick stuff. It is my deer/bush setup that I like and hate to change at this point. Thx in advance.

This is a hunting gun.

Time to order bullets. I see questions asked frequently across various forums asking about using...

This is about the .308 Win. But it somewhat applies to what you’re asking.
Give it a listen and see what you think.
