[QUOTE="trebark, post: 544170, member: 19172"] While I generally agree that among the three calibers you have to choose from, the 308 and 260 stand out. I would lean towards the 308 as there is MUCH more factory ammo available, including FMJ 'practice' ammo. My one concern would be moose. A 308 with a heavy bullet would work well on moose with a well placed shot. However, as the distance gets longer and retained energy drops off, you might want to consider something a bit bigger. How about 30-06 or 300win mag? Both are readily available in factory ammo and carry a bunch more wallop than the 308. [/QUOTE]
