[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1172910, member: 12995"] It is, a lot of folks just aren't 7mm fans, and most people let their personal bias form their opinions. I'd be willing to say most all people are this way, at least to a point. I am not an expert at anything, but here is my personal biased opinion... :cool: I have alot of different calibers from .17 HMR to a .45-70, but my own personal bias lies with the 7mm calibers being my favorites. Nothing wrong with the big .30's...I have several. Nothing wrong with the .22-.25 cals either, I have several as well. I don't care for the .27 cal (owning so many 7mm's, the .27 cal is kind of pointless for me), and I don't think I'll own another .338 again, it's just entirely too overkill for anything and everything around here, which is why I don't hunt with my .45-70 Sharps. But for what you mentioned, the 7mm would be the starting point for calibers. I have not killed an elk, or a moose, but have read that the most popular hunting caliber in Alaska is the .223 (don't know if that's true, it's just what I've read). Which leads me to believe that they are just like a deer...When used inside of its effective distance, shot placement is more important than caliber diameter and bullet weight, and no matter how big your caliber is, every reaction is different, and some will run, and some will drop, and you never know which one it will be until you drop the hammer... My thoughts are, shoot what you want, and get comfortable with it. Shooting at 4-500 yards is not difficult, but for someone who is very inexperienced, taking a 300 yard shot might seem like a daunting task. You need to practice ALOT at the distances you plan on shooting, especially with that same rifle you plan on hunting with. [/QUOTE]
