Unless you have interest in hunting 400+ yards consistently I’d go ‘06.
It does show more reaction on hits but I haven’t noticed that critters tip over any faster300 win hits harder at all ranges. Go with it if you can handle the recoil.
I was being snarky about the 6.5, but really, if it were me I'd probably go -06. I'm actually a .308 guy but I oscillated between a .300 WM and .308 for a lot of years. Ultimately, experience bore out that the .308 was adequate for everything I hunt in MT, and lighter, and I was tired of getting beat up by the .300 WM. That's me. I'm kinda a fan of .270s as well, but I'm 47y/o been hunting for almost 3 decades at this point, and I'm really not too interested in Magnums anymore. They're great for what they do, but I don't find them necessary for what I do.
As for moose, people have used the -06 on moose for a 100 years. My father-in-law grew up in Fairbanks, he always hunted moose with a .270 or a .35 Remington.
No, but I do. mtmuleyA wise man once told me "a dead animal doesnt care about an additional 200 feet per second".
He actually liked the 50BMG better...Ask Carlos Hathcock about 30-06's
If you have the skills to take game at 400+ yards with 100% consistency then who am I to say that you shouldn't do it. We send young men into war with enough training to effectively engage enemy combatants at long range; yet when we come to hunting, someone with the same skill is chastised for their "unethical" behavior.
i'm in agreement with the 45-70. but I would go with the 30-06 if you really feel the need for more power/velocity i would go on up to the 300 weatherby or or 338 win mag. ive shot the 300 for a long time and i'm thinking of going back to the 30-06 or even down to 270 for when i'm not carrying the 45-70
