In Scandinavia what we call Moose, they call Elk and have been killing them since the 6.5x55 came out with it. Works just fine.
They call them"elg" I believe. Not the same thing. Sorry, as one of the token Scandinavians here, I just have to do a little correction!
We call them
�lg -- and that "a with two dots over it" is a different letter of the alphabet, unpronounceable to most of you without practice unless you are born here!
They
are the
same thing as the moose found in North America
Alces alces (although a different subspecies).
