I've killed moose with 6.5x55, 7mm-08, 30-30, 30-06, 340 WTBY, 375 H&H and 375/350 Rem Mag, 358 Win and Norma, 45-70; I've killed them from <100 yards to >500; I've used rifles that were too heavy, too long, too clunky; I've used bullets that were 'inadequate' (Gamekings) and bullets that were 'too hard' (Barnes X) - and everything in between.......there are many ways to get the job done. Some hunts were almost too easy, some quite the opposite. (The animals were never too small.
) But I've never been on a hunt where the plain old standard 30-06 with any decent bullet was too much, not enough, too long, too heavy. Granted a 6.5 will get the job done most of the time most likely, but I have yet to see a bullet/cartridge combination that a moose can't stop.
