Given the following individual combinations below for ELK and Moose, what would be your limit on range and type of shot you would take for each type load shown:

.7mm160gnNF/FS @2750.
.308 200gn NF/tsx @2750.
.338 230FS,240NF @2750.
.366 286WL/NF @2550.

Are you using a laser rangefinder or not? With a laser, elevation turrets, and long range practice, you can stretch out your capabilities.

If you're not using a lazer:
I'd say 200 yds for the 7, because I consider 160 gr a light bullet for moose, 300 yds for the 300 or 338, and 250 yds for the 9.3mm.

Using a laser and having the skills, I'd still limit the 7 on moose but would use it out to 300 and change for the elk, with the 30 and 338, they are 400 yd guns, and if I had the right presentation, I'd stretch that on elk. the 9.3mm would be a 300 yd gun, simply too little velocity IMHO past that no matter how well you dial in the drop.

I would agree with Paul 100%

Woodjack ----- Paul did a good job advising you and was spot on. I have taken many Elk, all with at least a .300 Win mag, most with a .340 Wby or .358 STA. I like big bullets with flat trajectories in order to control where on the animal I hit consistently, that placement of the bullet is extremely important and can save you much work and heartache. Beyond 300 yards I feel like I loose that control and try to limit my shots to that distance. My one Moose was taken with a 250 grain Nosler Partition Gold at 2900 fps from a .340 Wby, a one shot in his tracks take down. ----- I really like all your rifle choices and particularly bullet choices, I have gone almost exclusively to the North Fork bullets in all my rifles. They are a little more costly, but when I spend the money to go West to find the animals I want to hunt, I want the best bullet possible for that moment of truth. Good shooting.

200 yards for a 7mm on a moose? From what I have seen Moose die pretty easy compared to Elk and other game. Don't listen to Paul on the 7mm he doesn't like them for some reason he has probably never used one on game. As for range I would use the 7mm,30,and 338 out to 600 yards as that is my max range for right now. You might want to look at the 160 Accbond for the 7mm or barnes 160 TSX. They have a little better bc and should work well on Moose. I saw a big bull moose that went 1150lbs dressed killed with one shot from a 38 special at 75 yards. Put what ever you use in the right place and they will die.
