Sure it will do the job as well as most of the next cartridges your going to get replies on. I don't see a major difference until you step up to a 338win mag or beyond as far as really putting the hurt on a animal at close range. That becomes a debate of energy displacement on impact then. The ole V vs U factor. Even the buffalo guides will tell you a 444marlin or a 45-70 will put the hurt on bison with a more visual effect of knocking one to the ground more so than a 300win mag or 338 win mag. But the later two have more ft lbs. You may have a moose get into the water or may walk off in the woods but it may just drop right there. But no matter what cartridge you shoot that can happen anyway. I love 270win but it may have more zip than pop at close range for shooting moose but put it in the right spot and it won't matter one bit.

personally I would want nothing less than a 300mag or maybe 30-06, and would prefer a 338win.mag or 375H&H etc...
I plan to be shooting big slow bullets for moose, in probably the 338 or 375 calibers.
btw aren't moose often in grizzly country? would you want to shoot a grizzly with a 270 or a 375?
what's the minimum required by law?
I forget what it was for my buffalo, I think .27cal/150grs was the minimum.

Since this thread was back in 2006, I'm hoping the guy has made a decision on which caliber and has acted on that desicion. Six years seems like plenty of time to mull it ver, so to speak. LMFAO!

Based on the moose I had killed in 2006 when this thread was started I would have said the 270 is plenty of gun for moose, even the big Alaska-Yukon variety. In the last six years, thanks largely to the internet, I have learned that no game whatsoever should be hunted with anything smaller than a 500 Nitro Express. Really, what if you're out squirrel hunting and you get attacked by a rabid Kodiak bear that's wearing body armor the anti-hunters put on it. Is that a risk you're willing to take? Not me. Time to go load up some .408 Cheytac. Spring turkey season is about to start.

Moose don't take a lot to kill if a good shot is made. Whitetail deer take a lot to kill if a bad shot is made. Over the last 25 years I've killed or been with hunters that killed more moose than my back cares to think about.Three were taken with bow & arrow.I'll try to list them the best I can ,1 with 243, 1-30-30,1-35 rem,1 20 ga slug,1-12 ga slug,1 44 mag. 2- 444,1 -45/70,several? with 30-06, about 6 with 300 win mag, 1 -338 mag.some I'm not sure of but. None went over 50 yrds, most less than 30 and a few were DRT the 30-30, 444,both and the 20 ga all fell on the spot. Does that make them the best moose guns?Or does it mean you make a good shot on a moose with most reasonable calibers the blood trail will be short?
