What to shoot a moose with...

[bearpaw]

We usually recommend a 270 or larger but we've seen them killed just as dead with .25 caliber rifles.

[trophyhunt]

I killed mine with my .300 win mag, dropped right where he was standing. About 80 yards away Behind the shoulder or in the hump, I can't remember.

[Ripper]

I'll be using my .338 win mag with 225g Accubonds. I wouldn't hesitate to use a 30-06 or 7mm rem either.

Have a few frinds go with u.  They can be "cougar hunting or coyote hunting". U will be hunting for ur moose with a bow in ur hand, one friend with a muzz, one with the 338, one with the 30 06 ect...lol.  I dont c anything illegal or unethical about that do u?. Just make sure they have cougar tags.

[GoldenOscar]

Another .338 Win Mag fan here...shot two of the big critters and job well done.
250 gr Barnes
225 gr hornady

both did a great job......30/06 and bigger your good to go....

[scoutdog346]

They don't seem to be that hard to kill

I shot mine with a 270. The thing many hunters do wrong is think they need to shoot again if he is still standing.
You shoot and wait 15 minutes. He stood there looking around then continued browsing. About 15 minutes later, he fell over.

   No way could I wait 15 minutes. I might give it 15 seconds to fall over. Maybe that's what you meant?

   I killed one with a .308 last year, seemed to work OK..

Exactly ! Thats why I don't use a .270 !  Imagine how far in the bush he could run in those 15 minutes.  It took me 3 hours to find one that had gone 60 yards after being hit with a perfect shot from a 338-378 and a backup from a .338 win mag.   The first time you shoot one that doesn't drop with a .270 you will NEVER use one again.  But until that happens it "Will kill anything".

I am very confident that a good shot in vitals with my 270 using 140 grain trophy bonded bullets will pretty much drop a big moose pretty quickly.  I know because that was that case in 2012 when I killed one off the raft in the brooks range with one decent shot.  IMO a bull elk is a lot tougher to kill then a bull moose.

I used a .358 win in Browning BLR lever action.   

[steeleywhopper]

I don't know if its because of their long gangley legs or what, but every moose that I or my family members have shot just fall right over. We've killed em with  30-06 to .300 Win Mag. I personally would use a muzzleloader or a bow when I draw next year.
