.308 good enough for moose?

ya, well, I came across him 1 1/2 hours into the first day of the hunt. We have 2 draws to fill.
Wasn't about to pass him up! He'll be prime eating. Even though his antlers DO look a bit whitetail-ish.
Still looking for number two. Maybe he'll be bigger!

Alas, my Cooper M52 .270 all stainless did not arrive in time for this hunt.
I've been pestering Prophet river but these things can't be rushed I guess.

I certainly wouldn't have passed him up either! Just perfect for table fare indeed,
 
other then a .22 all I have is .303 British and .308 rifles at this time... my .303b LE 4mk1 firing 180 gr soft tips will drop a deer right were it stands 7 out of 10 times and the rest of the time they don't get far.
 
It is a good thing the 270 didn't show, it is a well documented fact THAT YOU CAN NOT KILL MOOSE WITH A 270! I thought by now everyone knew this.

I carried my 308 on several moose hunting trips (never shot one though) and always got razzed by the idiots in camp with the 30-06 because I was "UNDER GUNNED".
