I agree. And it's funny how a lot of the interweb Fiordland moose experts have never actually seen a live moose (anywhere) or been to Fiordland. But they are adimant they don't exist.

Couldn’t help myself, if we’re doing ballistics.. this is the 7prc with a 20” barrel, 175 berger elete hunter starting out at 2800, and a 180 eld-m starting out at 2750. Moderate speed, I could get a...

Also - 7prc for the win. I think tahr is on the money. Horsepower was used to overcome poor BC for a long time. You don’t need to do that anymore with current projectiles. Also also, rimmed...

Jeez this could go on forever! But hey I'm here now so....... 7mm PRC. Less recoil than the 30 cal variants, accurate, with good factory ammo available. The 6.5's will get you where you want...

Do you hand load ? If you roll your own then the options are much greater/better. In 7mm you should consider 280ai, 284 and 7SAUM, and the new kid on the block, 7PRC. You can get factory ammo for...

7mm is the ballistic sweet spot. A 280 Winchester, 7rem mag, 7saum, 7 prc would serve you well. Out to 600 yards most of those rifles can get away with a short barrel. I have a 20” 7prc pushing a 175...

If you need a muzzle break on a 6prc you should stick to rimfire

I know of a deer that was gutted with a sharpened teaspoon, but the guy that did that now has something a bit better. If you want a nice knife, and the rent/mortgage is paid up, please yourself.
