[QUOTE="bigbull, post: 2775133, member: 74097"] I have shot them with the 338WM, 8mmRM, 300 Dakota, 330 Dakota, 270 WSM and 264WM, (more than once with each) I think ! There is no caliber that will work as well as one that puts its bullet in the right place, assuming a well constructed bullet. Let us not fool ourselves that even a 243 can kill a moose, here In Quebec it is the legal minimum but in all my years I have never met or heard of anyone using one for moose, a lot of the early hunters used many 303 Brits, 30-30, 308 and 30-06 but Moose were not usually shot at the distances that we dare shoot today, we got closer to the game back in the day mostly because we did not have the hardware for the long shots. Between your 7mmRM and the 30-06 they will both work with good bullets, my choice would be the 7mmRM because of the better long range ballistics and excellent bullets. Know your gun and practice long range shooting and if you are going to shoot long range get a rangefinder and the right optics. BB [/QUOTE]
