moose hunt with a 308?

[jammer17]

Hey guys was looking for some Input. Hoping to get some moose hunt in this year. Would be my first time was wondering if a 308 with 180 grain would take a moose down. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Absolutely it will.

Not a chance. The bullet will likely just barely penetrate the skin, and the moose will become enraged. Only a magnum can kill a moose

Abwolutley! Listen to 325, he knows what he's talking about. Don't let the Dawg and 835 yank your chain and have you wind up putting yourself in a dangerous situation. Moose are tough beasts!

I watched a video a while ago of a kid making a clean kill on an elk with a .243..shot placement is key, whether it's a .308 or .338

Shot placement is key,,,, but .. if you put a 338 210 TTSX on a moose shoulder it will brake it and kill the moose,,,, if you do the same with a 308 on a big bull it can pancake on the shoulder with little effect.
Circa 1975 and a cranker bull.... Savage 99m in .284 .... 7 rounds on shoulder moose still standing....

yes shot palcement is key, but a 338 gives you more places......
