[QUOTE="Savage88, post: 686668, member: 52828"] im confident in shooting up to 500yds with my 7mm-08. After that the bullet is dropping extremely fast! And with the 7mm-08 the bullets energy drops to around 1300fps@500yds and im not quite sure that would be enough for a moose. As far as recoil goes, the 7mm-08 can kick like crazy if your not expecting it but is easily manageable. recoil is not much of an issue. I would like to be able to shoot out to 750yds eventually after enough practice and trigger time to be comfortable with the rifle and knowledgeable about how the rounds will fly at that range. I dont necessarily want to shoot at that range all the time but be proficient enough to be able to if i have to. And the 30-06, is that much of a difference from my 7mm-08? I want to have enough gun that i can work my way up through and advance myself with for awhile and get to the longer ranges with. Reloading will come someday. Its not that i cant afford it or that im not experienced enough to shoot at long ranges. I cant justify to myself(or my wife) to spend that much money on one to make my own bullets when i can buy rounds that will preform at the distance i shoot. Like i said, maybe someday when i get into the whole long range shooting like the pros on here. But for now factory bullets that perform to what i need will work just fine! [/QUOTE]
