[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 951721, member: 25760"] Age old question with many right answers. I have a friend that has his 30-06 set up as a long range rifle and get's 1/2 minute out of it. With your large Alaskan moose I wouldn't go under a 7mm/.28 caliber with bullets over 160 grains. The .30 calipers are going to be even better. Use a 200 grain or bigger bullet in the .30 caliber and you have a winner. A .300 Dakota might be a better choice than the 30-06. Look through a reloading book. Try for a caliber that will send a 200 gr bullet at 2800 fps or more and you'll be in good shape. Bruce [/QUOTE]
