[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 2383062, member: 55998"] If moose are included, I would go 30 caliber where you could load tough quality 200 grain bullets. Also often where there are moose, there are big brown man eaters, so bigger is better IMO. I’ve used the Barnes 165 TTSX out of a 300WM Tikka quite a bit and it has worked well on coyotes to elk. An acquaintance I know used my load on a cow elk and killed two with one shot. So be cautious about what is behind your target. The Tikka punches one hole 3 shot groups at 100 m consistently. Also you can find factory ammo almost anywhere in the world after the airline loses your handloads! One rifle caliber for everything was OK when I could only afford 1, but as I am much older and can afford a bit more, I vastly prefer more specialized calibers. Best of luck with one caliber for everything! [/QUOTE]
