Absolute max would be 600 yards so getting along at about 2000fps (with the 162 eldm) according to the phone...

Really interested on what people who shoot a lot of animals are using...7mm eldx in particular seems to have mixed reviews at distance...
The 120 bt seems a no brainer because its going to be low recoil and people seem to reckon it poleaxes animals out to 400...

What speed do you hope to push the 120?
We use them in the 7mm08 at 3000 but maybe the 140 Btip might be a better choice or 150 for your close load. As I'm sure you will be pushing the 120 alot faster than 3000fps.
