ORIGINAL: ox1443

hey would i 25-06 be enough for elk/moose??
By most people's standards, no. But if he uses a sturdy bullet and keeps his shots within say 250 yards, then it will definitely kill an elk or moose. I have a friend who has killed several elk with his 25-06. I've even known people who have killed elk with a .243 from close range. However, I'd suggest getting a cartridge with a little more oomph.
