[QUOTE="dakor, post: 562557, member: 2204"] It all depends on if you reload and what kind of recoil you can handle. John Burns rolled a grizzly up in Alaska with a 7mm of some sort and a 180 Berger over 600 yards on best of the west so it does work. If you don’t think the 7mm will do the job I would not even bother with the 300 rum and look at a 338 of some kind or the 375 Ultra mag. I have never noticed any killing difference on whitetails and Elk with my 7mm mag, 300 wsm, 300 win, and 300 rum. I will say the 7mm STW with the 180 Berger does stand out in killing over the others I have just mentioned. If it was me and I was going to hunt the big bears at long range the 375 Ultra mag would probably be my choice loaded with 300gr Sierra SBT’s or 300gr Nosler Accubonds for shooting 800 yards or less. If I was going to shoot farther then that I would look at some of the custom bullets like cutting edge bullets or the 350gr Sierra Matchking. Reading through the posts I would like to know what kind of Moose is walking around out there where a 7mm mag cannot kill them at long range? The 7mm mag works on Elk to 1000 yards or more and Elk seem to soak up lots of lead where a Moose seem to tip over a lot easier on a good hit. [/QUOTE]
