RE: What Caliber would you pick for deer/elk/moose???
I agree the short actions are just another marketing ploy. I've fallen to marketing ploys myself. They do shoot good but I also agree the 300 win mag is one of the greatest cartridges designed for BIG game. If you can shoot that round well it would be a great choice considering the size of the animals you mention. If it was me though, I would use my 257 Roberts or my 280 Rem or my muzzleloader. I know the 257 is small for moose/elk but I know what shots I would restrict myself to. I can shoot the above mentioned rounds well. That means more to me.
