No desire to go to Alaska again, but if I did, I'd take my .375 H&H, rather than the .300 WM I took before. Big sow kept coming around our fresh meat. Ultimately scared off with warning shots. But a little dicey for a minute.
Must use 30 cal for moose

300 win mag will do great. I use 338 win mag for every large game animals. You don't really need to get wrapped up in very expensive rifles with Hard to get ammo. Some will be glad to spend Your money for very expensive equipment

Accelerator= dirty. That makes it a Dirty 30 Squared. Nothing more bad@ss than that.
I'm a 308 fan
Lots of guys mention the 300 Win Mag
yup, gonna have ta say been there done that, many times over before the 300 RUM appeared on the scene
took this bull in the mid to late 90's, can't remember the exact year now but I had gotten rid of my 30-06 some years back and still had a box of 180 gr Black Talon ammo, pulled the bullets and loaded them in my 300 Win Mag, shot this bull with that bullet which was renamed "Fail Safe" around that time

I read a story years ago about a native up north that had half a coffee can of powder and a tirty tirty(30-30). He didn't have a lot of bullets and sometimes he would reuse the bullets that weren't banged up to much. Try that with a ultra mag ! The story was referring to moose hunting by the way.
If you use a 30-30 rolling block you can shoot pointy 2-30g bullets
Tell me about this powder holder.
