[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 892069, member: 25760"] I have only killed 2 moose and both of my sons have each killed 1, so I'm not an expert. The .270 will do the job. Use a bullet that will get good penetration. Don't expect it to drop at your shot. Get close enough to be sure of your shot placement. It will work, but there are better choices. If you are paying for a trip to Canada or Alaska you might want to borrow or buy something in a .30 caliber or larger. Even the 7mm's offer significant increase in bullet weights. Shoot a heavy for caliber bullet. A good quality bullet placed right will do the trick with any of them. The bigger calibers just kill faster and give you a greater margin for error. Bruce [/QUOTE]
