If a .308 or 30-06 is marginal they need to learn how to shoot or have never shot a moose.I prefer a 6.5x55 Swedish with 42gr of either N#204 or IMR 4350 and a 156-160 gr SP. Shot lots with the 130gr .270 Win as well or 170gr 30-30. Elk take a lot more killing than a moose. Elk ......Partitions,TTSX or Scirroco2's no deer bullets.
I really think it depends on the individual animal and the shot placement. I've seen both elk and moose just stand there with good solid hits and I've also seen them drop where they stood. A few inches difference in shot placement on a large animal like elk or moose can make a big difference.
