162 ELDM

You got it. Well as you can see in the pick its an antlerless elk which I had a cow/calf tag antlerless tag. Smoked this tasty lady or so I thought was a lady. When I got up to it, I pulled the hind quarters out to start field dressing I was was kind of confused. I looked at my dad like what's going on? There was no udders which a cow would have had, but there was also no nut sack for a bull. There wasn't anything visible on the outside to indicate one sex or the other. Wasn't until I started cutting in that I found a penis or at the very least a urinary line where a penis should be. IT was a bit of a trip. Did some research and found it can happen if a young calf bull catches his nuts on a fence or something.
Well as long as he identified as a cow you're good lol.
 
I shoot 162ELDM from 708AI. 2750-2775fps depending on temp. 24" barrel. W760 and RL17. It is a fairly heavy range gun used for steel targets to 1500yds. I would like to shoot a hog or audad with it. I also have 284 WIN components and a Benchmark barrel blank ready to be chambered. MTU profile so still a heavy prone shooting setup. I should think 180gr class bullets for the 284 WIN. So, I guess I'm rambling with no contribution to the question. My apologies.

You've at least made a good argument for the 7-08 at LR. I think the 162 is max but who am I to tell someone what they should or should t shoot in their rifle. You do you. Sounds like it's working.
