[QUOTE="winmag, post: 589127, member: 22166"] If you agree with the common perception of 1500 ft lbs minimum for Elk, & Moose, the answer is obvious. There's not a .308 win out there that can deliver that amount of energy at 800 yds. 300 hands down for me. There's no Such thing as overgunned, & the case capacity opens up A LOT of doors for You. Maybe consider a 300 WSM if you wanna stick with a short action. Muzzle brakes make Recoil a non issue, & launching bigger, heavier, higher B.C. bullets at reasonable speeds that allow for downrange terminal performance, & deliver a lot more energy, is what makes a long range "hunting rifle" for "big tough game" like Elk, Moose, etc. [/QUOTE]
