Must use 30 cal for moose

Mr swamp lord sir!!!! Not being nit picky but trying to help...you've missed an essential component of the scientific formula you shared. The numbers are right there staring you in the face! 30.3333. The .3 doesn't further represent the caliber. Move the decimal point up two (because you have two legs to go moose hunting with obviously) and you arrive at the clear answer: .303 caliber! Go old school, even older than the newfangled .3030 some are suggesting, and bring an enfield in .303 British. It's been dropping moose for a long time. Bonus points for the original full stocked version and not a mutilated (er, sporterized) atrocity. Preferably with a bayonet. The cardio benefits of hauling said rifle through the backcountry will be tremendous. And the bayonet is an extra layer of bear insurance. What manlier story can there be to tell your grandkids one day, than the time you stopped a bear charge with a bayonet (told from a wheelchair, dang bear ripped your legs off before it knew it was dead)?

They all work with proper placement, speed and bullet. I shoot a 6.5 Sherman SS with solid copper, 125 grain bullets at 3200'/sec and get exit wounds on moose at 500 yards. Never got that with my 7mm magnum and lead bullets. The copper bullets don't break up, so they penetrate much further and with a larger wound channel.

I've seen similar results with 110gr TTSX out of 270 Win and WSM. Also folks used to jack Moose in these parts with a 22 pill in the ear. It's all about bullet placement.

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

+1 338 Allen Xpress-300gr. with 2500 ft lbs muzzle energy at 2000yds.

= 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 .......
