[QUOTE="REV, post: 80652, member: 4341"] How short is short to the guide? The reason I ask is those light swifts don't hold together as well at those high velocities. I took a doe this year at 75 yards with 300 RUM 150's. The bullet hit a rib turned 80 degrees straight up and cut the spine backwards. the bullet was recovered base out right under the skin above the spine. You know how fast that 300 RUM is, if your shots are under 200 yards, go with the bullet that will work the best (keep it in minute of moose heart) unless you are going to blow his fool head off you dont need the <1 MOA accuracy (sure its nice but are you risking more with a bullet that WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR MOOSE) I talked to Swift, they recomend 150's for deer, and 180 for Elk. Just for the record, I do use 180's on deer at long range >300 yds and they work supperb because they have slowed down enough to function very well. [/QUOTE]
