Thanks,

You could, but why bother? With the 250-275gr bullets the recoil isn't the least bit brutal. You also may find yourself having to make a shot considerably farther than you were planning and you'll want the extra horsepower when that happens.Thanks again for your information..Could you use the 375 Ruger in a lighter load to elk hunt with?
Thanks,

As popular as the .375 Ruger has become finding ammo for it even in Africa wasn't a problem so from that aspect the two are pretty much a wash.https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1...-h-and-h-magnum-300-grain-partition-box-of-20

This is the beauty of the 375H&H In places it is used often you will find factory ammo your gun will most likely shoot. These are just a small sample of the great bullets in factory fodder
If you mean 30-06 it's more than capable for Elk and Moose with a decent 180-220gr bullet.Thanks Capt RB, I don't have the funds to buy many rifles. I I could use the lighter loads that would be nice. With your experience would a .306 be a elk cartridge? My Father shot a lot of moose with a.200 grain bullet. I don't know if that would be a cartridge for longer distance. I live in Rochester Mn and we need to use slug guns. I am truly a novice when it comes to rifles. I truly respect your opinions, you are a very knowledgeable man. My father passed away 33 years ago and I don't have anyone to gain the knowledge from.
Thanks again, you are truly the best in broading my decisions.
God Bless,

Not at reasonable ranges with the right bullet in the hands of someone that can place the shot properly.Is a 6.5 creedmoor to light of a cartridge for elk?
To add, with the exposure to salt water and spray I wouldn't take anything on such a trip that isn't stainless and well lubricated/protected. I am not however a fan of Froglube as it can quckly turn to glue in cold temps.I also used the Trijicon 2.5-10 on my 375 H&H in Alaska and it worked well. Whichever gun or caliber you choose I would have a synthetic stock on it and a SS or weather resistant barrel/ action. Alaska weather can test your equipment.
Peregrine makes a 230gr VLR4 you can get right around 3000fps from if you want something lighter and flatter for varmints and deer.thanks you for the information.

Men for sure, not game though. The Lee Enfield saw a lot of service over a relatively short period of time particularly compared to the 6.5x55 and very few other than Senior British Colonial Officers and the ultra wealthy could afford to hunt around the world. The latter were not generally choosing the .303.I think the 303 british is way ahead of the 6.5x55 in the killing department, men and animals all over the world.
