[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 216995, member: 2693"] May I ask, who are you hunting with (Outfitter)? I just hunted BC for bear this spring and got 2. I took my 30.06 with 3 different loads that were all the same trajectory to 250. You certainly have opportunities to shoot beyond 300 yards but I wouldn't opt for shooting over 400 with the partition. Not b/c it is not capable, but b/c it can be unpredictable with trajectory. I've seen them print very well out to 300 yards but beyond that they went to hell in a hand basket for unkown reasons. Moose are plentiful. So are bears. The elk can be tricky. If you go on a combo hunt for the 3 species, then one or even 2 of your tags can be filled incidently, meaning, the outfitter will ask what your primary species is and that is what you will concentrate on. At least that is what I've heard from plenty of references. If you happen upon the other game, then you get lucky if you choose to shoot. My best, most repeatable one hole group rifle is my 7mag, 24" Shilen, 150 Btips, and 63.0 IMR 4831. But, you should seriously take a look at H1000 and Retumbo for the 160. IMR7828 is also an excellent choice, as is Re22. However, you probably already know that a lot of hunters shy away from the Reloder powders due to a shady reputation regarding temp sensitivity.
