[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1107568, member: 7503"] Yes, they are both great calibers, but all I was saying if you hit elk with a 180 gr bullet from a 7 compared to a 215 or 230 from a 300 there is a visible difference. Seen it many times. Both will and do kill elk, but one has more killing potential than the other. It is that simple. As far as comparing in this manner "equal weight-for-caliber bullets " why would you want to handicap the larger rifle with a lighter bullet when that caliber has a larger bullet available. The only answer is, to handicap the 300 to make it look equal to the 7. I choose to load them both to the full potential that they both can be loaded to for my comparisons. For this the 300 will win in energy and SD at distance. I personally believe these are two important thing to consider when going for elk and moose as stated by the OP. I do not in any way dislike either. Like has been stated in a gazillion threads here already. They are both great chamberings. Just the facts. Jeff [/QUOTE]
