[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1232090, member: 30902"] The 260 is enough gun but I would not recommend using either the Berger or the Amax. Hornady ELD-X, Interlock, or my favorite, the Interbond or Nosler accubond would all be much to be preferred than the Amax or Bergers if I was shooting them and the Nosler Partition was especially developed for Elk and Moose. The 260 is not one Id suggest trying to use to punch the shoulders but if you can pick a good heart/lung shot and use a quality bullet I wouldnt be afraid to use it. Keep in mind that the 6.5x55 has been used extensively on Moose in Europe for around a hundred years and they are very similar ballistically. The 7mm Rem of course offers you the ability to use much heavier bullets and at much higher velocity but the 260 will do the job if you do your part. [/QUOTE]
