Man, I cannot believe that the 30-30 or 44 is not considered powerful enough by most people now days to take a Moose inside of 100 yards. Just because there are better cartridges and bullets nowadays doesn't make the old chamberings any less effective than they have always been. My cousin shot a huge moose with his 1894 44 Mag about 10 years ago in Montana, it was a bang flop about 70 yards away. I know that there are better options out there, but there are reasons that the ole lever guns keep chugging along and pack-ability plays a huge part in it. Not everybody needs an ultra mag to take 150 yard and under shots.
