Moose Gun

RE: Moose Gun
No need for a hand cannon for moose. They're huge, but not overly tough animals. A .270 with a well constructed bullet is adequate if you can shoot it well. Tons of people here in Alaska use the ol' tried and true 30-06 and we have the largest moose in the world. I use a .300 Win Mag., but that's just what I use for everything up here.

I agree with AK Jeff. The 30-06 is plenty to take down a moose. I use a .308 and have never had issues. This past season my rifle was used on 2....2 shots, 2 kills.
