[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 249032, member: 2736"] Although the 375 H&H is enough for the moose it is a little light for the big bears so I would go with the 375 RUM. The 375 H&H with the 260gr accubond has 2000 ft/lbs of energy @ 475 yds. The 375 RUM with the same bullet has 2000 ft/lbs of energy @ 675 yds. The H&H produces 2000 ft/lbs of energy at 425 yds with the 300 gr bullet. and the 375 RUM produces 2000 ft/lbs at 550 with the 300 gr bullet. Drop with 260gr- H&H= 130" @ 675 yrds. RUM=99" @ 675 yrds. Drop with 300gr- H&H= 89" @550 yrds. RUM= 72" @ 550 yrds. If the shots are all going to be less than 100 yrds then it doesent matter except when confronted by a large brown bear intent on ruining your day then an extra 1000 ft/lbs of energy @ 100 yrds could improve the odds. Assuming a moose weighs 1500 lbs the H&H is recomended to 125 yrds the RUM will have the same energy @ 275 yrds. With that said you be the judge as to what you want to hunt with. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
