Yes.....Absolutely.

The difference between a .30-06 and the .300 Win mag is surprisingly small. It' s worst feature is that it' s so common. We come to think of it as a deer rifle.....and it' s a lot more than that.

I agree with the statement that if I REALLY need something bigger than a .30-06 I need a .375!!

Jack O conner once said that if legal he could hunt every species in the world with a 270 and a 375 H&H. I have never owned a 375 h&h of my own but I used one several times. I used to chronogragh one for a friend of mine. That along with a 416 Rem Mag. I used to borrow the 375 once in a while. I fially bought a 416 Rem mag. I consider the 416 to be the most rifle that I can handle without tears. I don' t know why it didn' t become more popular as it will dispatch anything on this planet with ease. The 375 H&H is a bit more versitile and would not be out of reason for a one gun battery. ( heaven forbid). It shoots pretty flat and hits hard. I quess it remains less than legal in some countries that have a 40 caliber minimum for big game.

I hunt Ontario, and my primary moose gun is a Remington 7600 in .35 Whelen. My backup is a BLR in .358 Winchester. Most of my moose were killed with a Remington 742 in 30-06.

I started hunting with bolt actions but found them to be inappropriate for hunting the thick stuff in this province. Those stainless things are pretty though.

I use stainless synthetic bolt actions.If you place your first shot properly you don' t have to worry about how fast you can get off a second shot.The people that worry so much about a fast follow up shot are usually the ones that don' t place their first shot properly.

Hey Rick,

I like your choice of cartridges. Particularly the .358 Winchester and the .35 Whelen, both great cartridges. (I need kicked in the butt....) I use to own a .35 Whelen in both the 7600 and the 700 Custom. We also had a Savage 99-358. Sadly, I don' t own any of them any more! (The stupid things we do?!?!?!) Currently my only .35 caliber is a Remington 673 chambered for .350 Remington Magnum. (When we get back to Alaska I intend to remedy that shortage!)

By the way.....I' ve owned (and still do) more than a few .30-06' s in my day. All great cartridges!

Four syllables: .30-06! However moving up to one of the 7mm, .300, or .338 Magnums has its advantages, if you can take the recoil. But the heavy .30-06 loads will certainly get the job done with good placement.

I would go with the 375 remington ultra mag.It is also the best bear cartridge out there

.340 Wby. Mag. Good luck.

never hunted moose..

but vapodog got it!!

445 supermag

It will be hard to beat the 338 win mag here. Great out to 300 yards and can handle any bear you may run into.

But any 7mm mag of any flavor will do great to as will any 300 mag.

If you didn't need the option of shooting that far than the 35 whelen would fill the bill nicely.

Good luck
