I've been in on the taking of moose, and have certainly taken and seen taken a lot of elk. I've said it before, I've seen more elk taken with the 270/130-whatever factory load than any other single combo. While not as big, I think elk are bit hardier than moose, and I'd have no hesitation sticking a bull moose behind the shoulder with a 130 Corelockt from a 270. Wouldn't be my first choice (I'd load a 130 or 150 Partition), but I know it would work based on what I've witnessed with elk. Friend of mine who grew up in the bush in AK, living off the land, uses a 280 Rem with 139 Hdy's for everything. No different than a 270/130 except for mouse turd sifters.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue... smile
