Would you agree that it's appropriate for elk?
And a total newb question... how do you pronounce this cartridge name? Seven-ought-eight? Seven-o-eight? Seven-millimeter-o-eight?
Thanks!

My thinking is that the 7mm-08 may be legal for elk, but on the lightweight side. I'd strongly suggest you move up to a magnum round for elk.
