Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game What's the BEST Brush-Busting cartridge for elk & moose you would you use ?

We've heard it all before, but picture three scenarios, one recent and another two new AND IMAGINE LOTS OF small BRUSH IN THE WAY:

What cartridge would you use? It would probably have to be a non-lead bullet too to achieve greater penetration and less lead contamination. I'm thinking that a standard 375 H&H with 270 TSX would be ideal for any elk or moose hunt. Maybe some other brush-busting cartridge?

Imagine that it's the last day of the hunt...with little light left...and you've waited 26 years to draw. Imagine that this may also be your last hunt.

Imagine that if you're successful, your moose and elk will also make "BOOK" and feed your family and help the local homeless shelter.
