[QUOTE="hypersonic, post: 1158826, member: 5217"] I have taken moose with 6.5 up to .338 a few with 30-06 and 180 grain partitions and then accubonds once they came out. Our moose here in western Canada are usually bigger than the Shiras on average but you could bump into a huge one you never know. They are not as hard to kill as elk but you can have the odd one that is tuff to get down. At the ranges you mention your 308 is just fine with a good bullet 165-180 accubond partition barnes tsx ect with good penetration is the ticket and an exit hole is a good thing. Shoot him in the lungs and if he gives you a chance at a second shot drill him again even a third if you can get it into him. Moose have a habit of dying in nasty places if they get a chance to move away!!!! The high shoulder shot is your best bet if there is nasty tangle around it hits the lungs and also knocks them down so you can get a finisher in if you need it. Can't say on the buff never had the chance to hunt one and probably will not ever get the chance. Once the moose hits the ground the fun is over and the back breaking work begins LOL then the suburb eating soon there after Best of luck to you on getting that tag [/QUOTE]
