Either load will crush a moose at any reasonable range and shoot very accurately. The 300 RUM is my go to rifle, weighing in at 8bs it is a tad on the heavy side but recoil is pretty mild consdering the power level and it is extremely accurate. Any big game animal within 600 yards is in real trouble if I have a good rest and this rifle.
If I lived in AK, I would probably only have 2 rifles. One a 300RUM and two a 338 win mag. I love rifles, but they are so hard to use in MD.
