When I worked for Volvo 30 years ago, I visited Sweden at least once a month for sales meetings. I'd frequently visit the test track in Hellared and talk to the old guys over lunch about hunting. The 6.5X55 was about all they used (one guy used an 8X57mm and another used a 30-06, all with equal results). Common fare was "elk" or, moose in our book that weighted up to 1,100 pounds and they regularly scored 1 shot kills.
Selected Volvo employees could hunt on the test track grounds to keep the moose population in check - they do wonders when hit by a car at 120mph! On the way to the track (or a cross country drive to inspect facilities), traffic would be occasionally stopped for clearing a car-moose accident; often the passengers were in the same state as the moose!
