[QUOTE="6.5x300 WBY, post: 1980599, member: 89150"] This is getting ridiculously funny. Probably 100's of thousands moose gut piles gave up the ghost to the Big 7mm and 300's and a perfectly happy hunter. Do u need a 338 to kill a moose heck no and to say otherwise is truly ridiculous. Is it better umm. Maybe? But dead is dead. While I am a 7mm fan boy!! love them they are tremendously effective way down range. 28 nosler with 195 or 177 hammers way north of 3100fps especially the hammers i would gladly walk anywhere in NA and know full well I have what it takes to bring down what entered my cross hairs. Oh and one of my hunting experiences 7mm RM. Deer. 100 YARDS DRT 338 WM. Handloaded 200 gr Hornady SP at 3000 fps. Sub 50 yards 1 shot put buck down but required a 2nd shot to end affair. So by this philosophy 338 is not adequate and now 7mm is much better medicine than a 338. Oh and about that 300 and moose failure was all due to poor bullet choice and nothing more. If that had chosen a TBBC he would be dancing at his moose he just harvested. Its projectile and placement being Most important [/QUOTE]
