[QUOTE="chilli42, post: 1862958, member: 108889"] I wanted a bit more horsepower for Elk and Moose. The distances involved 50yds to 300 yards and up. Everything else my 6.5 CM is more than enough rifle. Whitetail, Mulies, Blacktail, Antelope, Sheep, Goats. That said I have a soft spot for shooting Lever guns in 3030 and 45-70 (for maximum giggle effect) ... don’t do much hunting with them though. Seems many on this forum carry more rifle than they need but maybe that’s for the fun effect ... I get that. Went hunting Antelope with a friend in Alberta last year. I had my CM and he a 7mm RM. I got a nice buck at 300 yards. Dropped in its tracks. His 300 yard shot hit the leg (wind was bad that day) and he spent the next 2 hours tracking it. To me it’s shot placement ... whatever rifle you shoot best. [/QUOTE]
