wtnhunt Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Both the .270 and .25-06 are good calibers for deer. The .25-06 would be a bit small for elk or moose though. The .270 would be ok for elk, don't know about moose though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehunter Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I had a 25-06 and it worked great on deer, I don't think I would try moose with it. They don't recommend anything smaller than 130 grain bullet weight for moose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Moose hunting is pretty big up here, my uncle has killed many big moose with his .270, shooting 150gr bullets I believe. My great uncle and a few of the guys I deer hunt use their .308s for moose hunting too, no problem killing moose with that caliber either. It's all personal preference. I prefer taking the .300 Win Mag or .300 WSM with me while hunting 1000-1500lb animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguide Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I've shot a few moose with my .270-they all ended up very dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
