Must use 30 cal for moose

[Clem Bronkoski]

If I were going moose hunting, I would be taking my WBY 340 magnum.

That would surely do the job no question provided you put the bullet where it needs to be.

Moose Math! I love it!

Yes but you can't eat moose math.

If I were going moose hunting, I would be taking my WBY 340 magnum.

It could happen this season, the 340 Wby is never out of the question for moose !

I have a mint Sako TRGS in 340 Wby and just got some Peterson brass the other day for it .. & some 250 gr Accubonds

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!

Lol it's probably killed more moose than everything else combined.

Lol it's probably killed more moose than everything else combined.

lots of shmo's keep saying that but the reality is .. is that it's a dumb urban myth perpetrated from the lesser 48 states & deer hunting from 50 years back & to the inception of the 30-30 WCF ....... It has no factual standing in Alaska & moose hunting, sure some moose have been taken with it over the last 100+ years but I bet the 45-70 & 348 Win have it beat, then enter the 30-06 & that myth falls apart ....

with that said ..... I recently got a new SSK 30-30 AI barrel for my TC Contender, a bunch of Star Line brass and a Burris 2-7x pistol scope, will be packing my TC in the event I get a super close 200 yard shot & less ..

I can still plainly see how it is different but man that AI reminds me a fair bit of a .303 British haha. I know the .303 is longer and more tapered and such but the resemblance is there.

It might be enough if your a Bad Shot ! Lol
Interested in the LRT and the load . I
Have some to try out !
Excited to see you 2022 Fall Moose !

If I had time and a plane ticket I would fly in and help you Pack it out !

I'm sure that would give me another Heart Attack though !
The things I would do if i was a bit younger !!

I too am curious about LRT.

I loaded the Loopy ammo for a friends rifle, he doesn't reload and factory ammo was non-existent the last two years, starting to see some ammo now but it's $125 to $150 per box ! crazy .....

got some 300 gr ABLR bullets too, but haven't loaded any up yet

.....

 

[Reemty J]

Man that ought to really put the smack on whatever you hit, the reaction on getting hit should be pretty obvious
