When I lived in Alaska I remember my dad and his buddies coming back with a couple moose every year. They all used .270 win and 150 gr partition.

ok...i'm gonna be that guy but it is legal so get over it....in your post you said you were 75 and i appreciate you getting out and hunting (I wish i had some of my elder relatives i could still hunt with).  I'm guessing you will have others with you to help in the recovery of your cow moose.  My advice is to shoot the biggest caliber you can handle with PREMIUM bullets.  There should be no reason you can't shoot a cow on the road or just off the road--regulations says you cant shoot NEGLIGENTLY from the road.  Shoot her high in the shoulder just under the spine and she will drop in her tracks.  a follow up shot may be needed but it beats your hunting partners bushwacking for a lung shot moose.  Good luck and congrats on the draw---that should be some of the best wild game you can eat
beer---it's whats for dinner

All calibers that you mentioned are $$$$ in their own rights but choosing the rifle that your most comfortable with packing around and shooting from all aspects, That's the one you should focus on and get completely comfortable with between now and you hunt.  Good luck.
