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.
IN 1959 I WAS STATIONED IN FAIRBANKS AND SEEN ESKIMOS KILL POLAR BEAR AND
MOOSE WITH 22-250. AS FOR BEING FROM FLA., I HAVE BEEN TO YOUR STATE MORE
TIMES THEN YOU HAVE BEEN TO MINE!
W.D.M. BELL KILLED OVER 1000 ELEPHANTS WITH 6.5x54 MANNLICHER AND 7x57MAUSER.
I HAVE HUNTED WATER BUFFALO IN THE PHILLIPINES WITH .303 ENFIELD.
THE .303 HAS KILLED MORE GAME IN ENGLAND,AFRICA AND CANADA THAN THE
30-30 IN THE USA.
IN 1995 IN ALBERTA I KILLED AN OLD LARGE BLACK BEAR WITH A WIN 94 CARBINE
.35REM.
I HAVE A 338BLR AND USE IT WHEN I WANT TOO.
UNTILL THEY MAKE IT A LAW IN WESTERN STATE'S THAT A HUNTER HAS TO USE
300MAG OR ABOVE, I'LL USE WHAT I PLEASE!
AS FOR PICTURES, MY PICTURE'S ARE OLDER THAN YOU. WHEN I GET A SCANNER I
WILL POST THEM JUST FOR YOU. IN THE MEAN TIME, IF YOU ARE NOT A HEMMOROID....
GET OFF MY BUTT!
