[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2469900, member: 30902"] Maybe up to 750 for elk and moose but not at a thousand. Just not quite enough energy left beyond that for a comfortable safety margin even with the 7mm RM. Maybe in the hands of an expert who knows his limitations but definitely not for a newbie. I've made a lot of longer shots with the RM, and STW on hogs and deer, but I would consider even them barely adequate energy wise for Elk and Moose at 1,000. What's two pounds and an inch longer action matter in the long run? For a thousand and further I bought the Rum's because why? I know my limitations and want that extra margin of error from the heaver and larger diameter bullets and higher retained energy. Others can do what they want, I guess I have too much respect for the quarry we seek. [/QUOTE]
