Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game IF one don't need the power/range of .270win (for BG) then what..?

I am in a similar debate on another forum.

My picks would be a 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 SPC. Both are more than capable of everything North America has to offer, with the exception of Grizzlies and Alaskan Browns, when shots are limited to 200 yards. I know some would disagree, but for those people I ask, would you be comfortable shooting an elk or moose at 400 yards with a 6.5 Creedmor or a .270 win? If so, then why would you not be comfortable shooting something that will be putting the same amount of impact energy into the animal at 200 yards? With today's choice of high quality bullets, I really don't get why some would choose the increased recoil and noise if shots are limited to 200 yards.
