308 or 270 for Moose -- which one?

[rem338win]

Now that I just bought that nice Sako .308 off of EE, I just might take a moose with that too? 150 TSX's at 2800 = a freezer full of swamp donkey!

If you find threads liek this tiresome, just don't click on them...

I find these moose threads to be a refreshing departure from the "bear defense" and "22cal centerfire for big game" threads.

Back in '49 my dad came to BC from Saskabush,his first moose was shot that hunting season. He was getting off shift and spotted the moose on his way home,he had only three shells for his rifle. He loaded them into his rifle and took a rest off a nearby tree. The moose was about 75 yards and one shot to the neck and down it went. Since he didn't have his skinning knife with him,he sharpened up his butter knife that he had in lunchbox and gutted the critter. With some help from other hunters he got the moose into the back of the truck and headed for home.
His rifle .......a 220 Swift
So shoot what ever you are most comfortable with, the .270 and the .308 are very capable cartridges. (Bring a skinning knife)

Once again...
.308 or .270 + vital organs = dead

Just don't take a .22 short with you and you will be ok! LOL

If you owned only two rifles, a 308 and a 270, which one would you take on a moose hunt? --Hmm -- my choice would be the 270.
