I haven't shot a .338 mag. But I would think a .303 or a.308 would be minimum for a moose? I love my 30-06 and 7mm, but that is a big animal. I love my 30-30 and .35 for a brush gun and white tail, but doesn't shoot far enough.
I would not want to PO a moose with a .270 though.
I will not take any shot unless it's a sure thing and am known around these parts for my calling abilities. I have a knack of reading the land and a Game trail by the water is usually a most productive place to sit when the wind is right. Besides, my shot is usually taken at less than 60 Yards and never more than 150. I have no qualms with shooting at 250 to 300 yards with my 30-06, usually have no need to do so. Just would like the bigger firearm for those rare times and for backing up some of the morons that I Guide for occasionally in order to help out a friend with his fledgling outfitter business.
