I think the 338 Win is one of the best, for moose or most anything else. Never hunted moose, seems like a 338 Win Mag would be a good choice.

I killed my 44" Idaho shiras with a Win 70 270 shooting 130 partition at 3100. Two shots - he died. Second shot was to keep him from running, but 1st shot was a kill shot. Distance was about 150 yards.
But with that said, at that time that was the only rifle I owned and didn't have the funds available to purchase a new rifle.

- 7mm Rem Mag with 165gr Sierra Gameking, 175gr Rem CL, 160gr TSX - .35 Whelen with 225gr TSX - .300 WSM with 175gr LRX - .375 Ruger with 250gr TTSX
All worked great maybe except for the Sierra Gameking which never made it to the offside.

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
