[QUOTE="Loner, post: 440551, member: 24560"] Out to 500 is no trick on moose. But go with a barrel twist that will handle 175 grain bullets. 160's would be the minimum I would shoot on an animal that large. Your 7mm is plenty enough at that range as well with the heavier bullets. A 175 at 500 in the stw will have in the area of 2200 ft lbs with a 3000 fps muzzle velocity. You need a 26 inch barrel with the stw. Any shorter and it suffers. I don't see much difference in recoil between the 300 wmag and the stw. The 300 certainly is more efficient at delivering is payload with less powder and a shorter barrel. [/QUOTE]
