[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1733493, member: 68875"] Did you verify your rifle at distance when you arrived? That should have put the guide at ease. I just had a buddy that took a HUGE bull moose at 691 w. his .300WM pushing a 190 Berger @ 2990fps. One and done. The 180 7MM has better SD (.319) than the 190 .308" (.286). With the added BC of the 7mm, I bet energy on target was very similar between the two at distance. To me, a 464 yard shot is a chip shot. But, I practice out to 1700+ a lot. I feel the round and bullet of choice would have been well up to the task. I have seen that combo take big bull elk at double+ that yardage with ease. I don't think bull elk are THAT much smaller than bull moose. I have personally taken bull elk at 662 with my 7RM & 180 Hyb @ 2976fps combo. And had family members take bulls at 882 with the same combo. I have seen the same combo take bison here in AZ. And those things HAVE to be bigger than bull moose @ 2000+lbs. I think I would have pulled that trigger. Then tipped the guide well as he packed my bull out for me. [/QUOTE]
