[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1246379, member: 84520"] I've never killed any moose. I hope to fix that within the next couple years. If I were clairvoyant and knew when my desert big horn sheep number will come up, I could make other plans. But for now, desert big horn is my priority. The biggest animal I've killed to date was a HUGE bull elk that went better than 900 pounds. One 160 grain Partition through that old boy's heart left him dead on his hooves. That Partition blew a through-and-through tunnel through that AARP bull's chest. From what I understand, elk are supposed to be much more difficult to put into dirt than are moose. I dropped him with a 7MM Rem Mag. I coulda dropped him with a .30-30 Win. I'd bet that a .303 British with a 180 grain bullet will kill the biggest moose every single time. Here's proof: [url=http://www.boone-crockett.org/news/featured_story.asp?area=news&ID=186]Boone and Crockett Club | Wildlife Conservation | Deer Hunting | Elk Hunting | Big Game Hunting | Wildlife Conservation | Deer Hunting | Elk Hunting | Big Game Hunting[/url] Thus, either your .338 Win Mag or your .300 Win Mag will kill any moose. But so will an '06. And so will a .303 British. [/QUOTE]
