My sister lives in Alaska and her "do-all" is a Winchester M88 in 308 I got for her about 30 years ago. She shoots 180 grain Partitions I load for it and so far everything she's shot had died and so far I think she has had to shoot 2 times only once. She did hit one moose 2 times, but I have killed moose with a 375H&H and even hit with that, they often don't seem to notice all that much for a few seconds after the hit.

Anyway, a good 308 with proper bullets will do the job. If you can keep cool and shoot well, the 308 will do what you ask of it.
