[QUOTE="trebark, post: 396588, member: 19172"] Mike Congrats on the baby on the way. I hope the delivery is uneventful for your wife and that your new baby is happy and healthy. Your 308 will be fine on moose. I have a buddy that loads the 210berger with 48 grains of RL17 and gets 2700+fps with the load. Drop that data in exbal and it shows you would have 1500lbs of energy at 700 yards. If you want to be more conservative, that load has 2000lbs of energy at 525. In the alternative, if you want to go to the extreme end...this load is still going 1600fps (Berger recommended velocity in order for the bullet to expand) at 875. With your muzzleloader, if it's a 50cal shooting a 300 grain bullet with a max load, it would be good to 200 yards. You should not feel handicapped by either of your choices. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
