[QUOTE="JackinSD, post: 687857, member: 40641"] If I was you, I would settle on a cartridge that would maintain the energy and velocity needed at the distance I hoped to shoot and reload for it. Reloading, as I see it, is a must not a maybe for that distance. There are others that have suggested the 300 win mag. and they are accomplished shooters at that range and much further. They have the experience, and the knowledge. So, I would not attempt to challenge them. So, yes on reloading being a must no matter what caliber you eventually decide upon. Realize that not matter what cartridge you go with, they will all drop quite a bit as distance increases. I'm sure you know that. The right caliber for moose or elk at 750 yards? Beyond my knowledge and expertise. But, plenty of information from some of the guys that have already responded to this thread. Do a little searching and you will find the answers. I have learned more on this site than I thought I had left to learn. And as we can see, I have alot to learn yet. [/QUOTE]
