Hunting Elk with Federal Premium Accubonds?

[RugerHawg413]

I am going elk hunting later this year, I am shooting a 7mm rem mag. What about Federal Premium 160 grain Accubonds? Would you be confident in them to hunt elk with, Yes or No? Thanks!

 

[Addicting]

Yes

 

[MThuntr]

Oh yeah that is a stellar combination for almost every animal in the North America

 

[Brian in Montana]

Absolutely.

Confident in Accubonds for Elk?

If you had to use Nosler Accubonds for elk, using 7mm rem mag and at 160 grains. Would you feel confident and comfortable using them for elk from 150 to 400 yards. Yes or No. Thank you for all the help and info!

But would it bust through a 6" lodgepole first and still kill the elk on the other side?

That was about Nosler Accubonds not Federal.

No, but the lodgepole wouldn't be happy.

You do realize it's the same bullet?

Is it the same brass and powder though(not being a smart ass, just wondering)?

 

[Muley_Stalker]

You're asking about a premium bullet. Trust the posts you've already gotten. It will work.

Cripes! I kill elk with round lead ball out of a 1800's Hawken replica.

No, but you're splitting hairs comparing the two. Buy a box of each and see what your rifle shoots better.

Ok, will do! Thanks!

No problem. Is this your first elk hunt?

Yes, it is in south NM!

Ok, your concern is understandable. You'll do fine with the Accubond. Put a hole through both lungs and get out your knife.

I've shot the Nosler loaded factory ammo Accubonds, and the Federal Premium loaded Accubonds and both work great.

I think you may be over thinking some things with this elk hunt. If you can shoot straight most any bullet you pick will work just fine.
