I want to take a moose with the .270 Winchester. Not much difference between the two.


Nope I think they will both get the job done. But it does have me scrolling the ads looking for a cant pass up deal on a Whelen. Guy cant have to many guns.....

I haven't started loading for the 30-06 yet. I do have some 180 barnes x's to try in it. Maybe I'll get some 180 pt to try as well. Also wondering about the 182 Grain E-Tip's. Don't hear much about those. The 338 shoots 250GK's extremely well, but I do have some 225AB's for it I want to try.

I shot the moose with a borrowed, rusty Rem 700 .30-06 that I had shot twice at a cardboard box at 100 yards. I picked out a half dozen rounds that looked the same from a gallon ziplock the outfitter handed me. sick

The moose died fine. My rifle showed up three days later and broken.

Suggest you try another method. grin


Pugs, your story makes my belly hurt.

My son shot a huge-bodied bull with the 80gr TTSX in a 25-06... a minor step between the three cartridges...
