Like I said the 1000-ft lb isn't a magic number just one that I referenced. I'll try and watch how I quote people in the future and make my meaning more clear.
I think maybe I over-reacted... please forgive...
I have had, what seems to me, a lot of "back-stabs and knife-twists" recently, and I was too ready to "counter".

Agreed... the really long shots on elk and moose should be reserved for true experts with .300 magnums... For 600 yards I would want the 30-338...

I love my 30-06... (surprize, surprize) ... but I would really hesitate to take a 500+ shot with it... especially on elk or moose.

I have a favorite stand for elk shooting across a large ravine... the longest shot I've had the opportunity to take, lasered at 554 yards... I had to pass it up...

That's why I now have a .325WSM Browning A-bolt... second only to the 30-338...

No takers for a .300 Weatherby w/ a 180 gr. Barnes X?
I gave one to my brother in a Howa 1500... and he loves it...
The .300Wby is an outstanding round and the Barnes MRX is very possibly the very best bullet made... but, alas... they are both very, very expensive.

But once you own them, and you have worked up your loads and zeroed... the expense becomes only a small problem...
