= 152

what do these numbers mean ?
these numbers tell me that I have 152 days until moose season and I have to use a 30 caliber cartridge to hunt moose with

Don't believe me ? These maths don't lie ..

152 (days) divided by 6 (the months the days are in) = 25.3333333 + 5 (letters in Moose) = 30.3333333 = 30 and then the seven .3's represent the letters in caliber

30 CALIBER ..... WOW, AMAZING !
I have to hunt moose with a 30 caliber rifle this coming season in 152 days ! the numbers don't lie !!!!

Which 30 caliber cartridge ? That is still a mystery though , but I'm working on solving that riddle, stand by .......

300 rum with an A-frame is really the only choice.

With all the lightening fast concoctions that you have come up with the selection sure will be difficult.

How about taking an old .308 win just to be different? LOL

I'll send you a few 199 hammer hunters. I want to see what they'll do on some BIG game!! [Need a 1-9 twist though] my 300 prc loves them.

With all the awesome Wildcats you have come up with I think the choice is very clear. Time to break out the old 30-30!

There was talk of using a 150 gr TTSX in my 30-30 TC Contender, but it would have to be "lung range" hunting, lol

Nothing wrong with that......the farther you shoot em, the farther you have to pack em!

Since you said in another comment that you've been there done that with a rum, you trying to get more power or less? If more you could go 300 terminator, Allen xpress, 30 raptor, etc. if less then 300 PRC, 30 nosler, or even 30 Gibbs! I'm partial to the 300 terminator, 30 nosler, and the 30 Gibbs myself. There's loads of other options however those are my 3 favorite 30 cal magnums

300 savage in a model 99 is the obvious answer here...

my 300 RUM comment was in agreement that the 300 RUM works extremely well on moose and validation from my personal experience

and I'm not necessarily looking for + or - on the power scale, just something new & different, in both .... cartridge and bullet

I'm always trying new bullets on moose and this past season stomped a bull with my 300 LRC using a Badlands 205 gr Super Bulldozer 2 bullet and watched my brother dump a bull with my 300 RUM using my handloads with the new Federal 175 Ascent bulllet , both bullet/cartridge combos worked extremely well on a couple nice bulls

I'm hoping the new Barnes 208 gr LRX will be out and available before moose season, apparently they have redesigned the bullet for higher bc's and to open up at even longer distances/slower velocities, BUT require an 8 tw barrel for optimum results, so that kind of leaves my factory barreled rifles in 7.82 Warbird, 30-378 WBY, 300 RUM, 300 WBY, 300 Win Mag, 300 WSM, 30-06, 308 Win and 30-30 out of the hunt.... unless rebarreled with a proper twist barrel... but if I'm rebarreling a rifle with a high grade Rock or Bartlein I can't bring myself to do a factory chambering, it always ends up with a wildcat chamber, just the way things work in my world

just brainstorming and scheming on a thirty, thirsty for blood

Those Remington 700 LSSs in 300 RUM work on moose.
