RE: 308 for moose
bigbullsh***er,
I ain' t ever recommended anybody shoot a big magnum. I think they' re overrated snake oil for the average hunter. But I do stand firm behind my belief that a properly sized and constructed bullet is a responsibility. All this " shot placement" crap don' t apply to 99% of the hunters unner field conditions. As far as I' m concerned, a hunter lookin' to do his best by an elk or moose should be totin' a 30' 06 with 180s (good ones) at a minimum. If he can' t shoot it, he should practice. Period. No easy way out for green dreamers. I like elk an' moose too much. If you want my favorite elk/moose cartridge, it would be the 338' 06. Not a magnum, an' damn lethal. Wish I could wear my 30' 06 out so I could buy one. Shootable too.
