What's you favorite caliber for Moose, Elk, and Black Bear? There's a lot of good ones out there that will get the job done.

I like using my 300 Win Mag, but if I'm hunting in thick stuff, I'll bump up to my 375.

I like my .300 win mag now. Gets the job done on everything that I can hunt around here. Same bullet too. Not going to try and fix what ain't broke. Got over that a few years ago.

 

[redranger]

.270 cal, all the way.

I picked up a 300 short mag last year. Got my first moose with it so very happy with it

 

[oaktree]

.270 then 7mm-08

My .338 Winchester Magnum handloaded with 225 grain Accubond bullets does excellent work on all three species...

I have not had the chance to go after any of those yet, but when I do, I will have my -06 in my hands. For the bear I may just load up with some heavier lead, just because I can.

One more vote for 300 mag. 270 close second.

I'm hoping the new .30-06 will get the job done!!!

For the bigger animals, elk moose and bear I built myself a 338-06 off of a Remington 700 action, for everything else its a 6.5x55 all the way.

270 wsm,130 grain @ 3360 stops most things here.With an R1,they work well.

 

[204H3T]

Browning x-bolt in .300WSM hand loaded with 175 grn Berger VLD over win760

 

[Scootermac]

Love my abolt in 7 mm, taken everything but a bear with it.

 

[gtrussell]

I'm hoping the new .30-06 will get the job done!!!

I was not aware they had made a new 30-06.

 

[Patty]

New to me...

 

[gtrussell]

Had one for 40 years.I bet you think you will catch up.

My new kick for bears is to use a Winchester Model 94 .38-55. It's a cool old gun, with a big slow round. Works well in brush, and does serious damage when it connects.

Moose is my .300 RUM. Expensive to shoot, kicks like hell, but I have it dialed in and am very excited for my trip this year. Hoping it gets the chance to bite.

 

[bulldog007]

My Parker Hale 30-06 should do the job as far as I am concerned. Moose, Deer. coyote, etc etc.......almost everything but Elk. Should I have to good fortune to get drawn this year, I will add Elk to the list..............all I need is a decent scope now.

:recon:

 

[rojogrande]

Loaded with a stout 180 grain bullet (Nosler Partition or Accubond), the 30-06 is never a mistake....

The Barnes 165 grain TSX bullet will get the job done as well....
