Default RE: 308 for moose

The .308 based cartridges don' t innerest me beyond deer. I kilt several elk with a 8x57 mauser loaded with 200 grain noslers. But I wouldn' t recommend it to jus' anybody, an' its sure gonna be out-performed by the 8mm' 06. The 308 is marginal for elk in the average hands. Afor tryin' it, I recommend the hunter kill a whitetail buck in his bed first. Once you do thet, then I' d say its enuff gun for the job.
