Rebel Hog,

I know someone told you that the 6.5 was a GREAT moose round in Sweeden, but you do realize that most of the harvest in Sweeden is calve moose don't you???

Have you ever actually seen an Alaskan moose? There was a young bull in my yard this morning, he was looking at me with a six foot dog ear fence between us. And he was probably just a two year old. Do you realize that one hind leg (not quarter) weights more than two of your average sized deer in Flordia????

As a final note, if and when you have a grizzly up close and personal, say right in your camp where you have your kill stashed and you have to run that bear off, let me know how it feels to have that 6.5 in your hands or if you wished you had that .340 Weatherby.

The .270 has probably killed enough elk in it's day, but there are better elk rounds there and if you can shoot them and afford them, it is an investment you probably wont regret.
