My father owned and hunted with a Browning Safari grade rifle in 30.06. When he passed I inherited it and planned a moose hunting trip. I was concerned if the .06 was enough to do the job. The outfitter that I hired assured me it was plenty, and pointed out his clients have killed hundreds of moose with an .06. He said he has seen plenty of guys with much larger cartridges but were afraid of them and thats when the problem begin with gut shots.30-06 gotta do it
If you want something New & Different then try the 6.8 Western.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

= 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 .......
