Shiras moose caliber

[blueridge]

For my upcoming moose hunt I keep going back and forth between my following options:
- 300wsm with 180gr Norma Bondstrike
- 300wsm with 166gr Hammer Hunter
- 280AI with 143gr Hammer Hunter

I am leaning towards the Ackley. What do you all think?

Whatever you shoot best. Moose are babies once hit they usually lay down asap

Thanks. That’s what I keep hearing … which is why I’m leaning towards the Ack.

This .338 WM. Come Oct 1 if I dont kill one with pointy sticks.

470 grain arrow with a decent broadhead does the job. Worked 3x so far hopefully a 4th in ID and then a 5th in Colo this year.

Over how many years?

Love the Sako Carbine especially 338 WM.
225gr Accubond and 76.0 of Reloader 19 is a great handload.

I have shot moose with lots of rifles but i will always go back to the good old 338 win mag. if you dont like recoil stick with the 25 06 but get good quality ammo

 

[deerhunter24]

2506 is way underkill. bite te bullet and get a 30 caliber

Love the 300 Win Mag and 338 Win Mag for Moose hunting

which cartridge did you get that trophy with?

 

[Red-Team 98]

90% of all my moose hunting is with 338 Win Mag and 225gr Swift A frame handloads. Here the 300 Win and 338 Win rule.

Not sure why this took off again a year later but okay. Never even saw a bull in the unit, F&G cut the tags in half this year. Still a fun hunt despite losing a week to a broken down truck. I wish the best of luck to those that follow with their hunts.

Um, continuing discussion on a common topic? Heads up, it will happen again next year after the draw. Probably.

I hear recycling is good for the environment!
