For the shotgun/muzzleloader, I am actually looking to keep my shots within 100 yards. Anything beyond that, I'll use my .270.
On a related note.....I've been practicing with my bow (and some new Beman carbon arrows) to shoot out to 50 or so yards. I'd like to have some options in my arsenal, in case I get bored (like that will ever happen) with always shooting my .270. I am also planning on getting a .375 H&H rifle in preparation for a Newfoundland moose hunt in the fall of 2010 (the .375 might be overkill...but I know someone who reecently shot a New Brunswick moose at 75 yards with his 30-30, and it took three near-perfect shots to bring the beast down. I'd rather drop it where it stands with one shot.) In fact, I'm sure a .50 caliber muzzleloader or shotgun slug, with a well-placed shot, would drop a moose within 100 yards.
Decisions, decisions.....
