gun for moose

[splitshot]

I drew a cow moose permit and have access to several guns.  1. a 325 wsm, 2. a 300 ultra, 3. a 270 wsm and 4. a 300 win  mag.    which should I use?  I am 75 and cant see very well but am in very good shape.  thank you.  mike w

All those will work just fine. Shoot the one your most comfortable with.

Whichever one you feel most comfortable with. I'd assume with poor eyesight you will be getting fairly close to see for a shot, any of those guns will take down a cow moose with the 270 being the last of the 4 choices.

 It's all about shot placement, my grandmother killed a couple big bulls with her .243, use whichever you can can shoot the best.

I used a 270.  Like others have said, you got plenty of fire power.  Shoot the one you are comfortable with

I'd use 30 cal or up, but all will work fine.

But I would be darn sure to use stout bullets like Partitions or something else that will hold together.

Wife killed hers with a 308 and 180 grain factory corelokts, it wasn't my first choice but was a backup gun.  Did very well, I'd have no hesitation.  Shot placement is key.

I'd use the 325 if I were you.   Only because you don't have a .35 whelen listed.  : )

thanks for the interesting info.  have my doubts about the 325 cuz it kix so hard even with a limbsaver and I am not a big guy.  am leaning toward the 270 but probably will use the ultra.  it has put down 3 one shot moose.   thanks again,  mike w

   All of them will knock a moose down.  You can use the .270 WSM with confidence, just use a good bullet.  Congrats on the moose permit!

[Dr. Death]

As said any of those is fine. Elk are tougher than moose, I've taken 2 moose, both went right down...Use a bow!

  moose are relatively easy to bring down. Use whatever you like. If you like the 270 go for it! Shoot it in the lungs and bring it home!

Choose which one you can shoot the best and hit it in the right spot.

Son took his first with 325 wsm. They do kick!
I wouldnt use the .270. A 30-30 works too but if something happens you will be kicking yourself forever. Not so with your other options.

Does the .325 kick more than the ultra?
