[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1980519, member: 4191"] That's what I currently use. I'd be comfortable with .338 Win Mag. Can't say the same with the lesser calibers and cartridges I've used, and observed used on moose. I've killed 3 with broadheads. Not that those experiences are relevant to rifle cartridge selection... Using lesser calibers, I'd kill the moose and have done so, but it's done with additional concern and care regarding shot distance, animal profile, and bullet placement. Because some of those calibers simply aren't up to the task, given the multitude of opportunities that present where I hunt moose. You could list twenty more cartridges you have complete faith in. Use what you want. Doesn't impress me nor disappoint. I get nothing out of it one way or the other. We're doing nothing more than exchanging our opinions. If you had more experience than I hunting moose, I'd have reason to re-evaluate my opinions. As it is, I feel no need. But best of luck to you, should you ever hunt moose. You'll be fine with your .338 Lapua. [/QUOTE]
