I've killed a lot of moose over the years, a regular old cup and core bullet to the lungs will put a moose down on average quicker than a mono with the same shot placement...
Any 150/165 gr premium, controlled expansion is fine but spendy. If you want to keep cost down, I'd suggest a 180gr conventional soft point, cup and core bullet.

Hmm mm
30-06 great choice..you own it..probably used to it..good
Clayton Mack..beware of the individual that just owns one rifle. .he probably knows how to use it..
Any premium bullet that your rifle shoots the best Nosler..or tsx by Barnes..ELD"
I only use tsx..but wouldn't hesitate for Nosler partition..nor ELD "
I have used .270..with 130.150 great
7mm
30-06
300 win mag
350
and now .338 with .225 grain TSX
All dropped moose
No head shots, no neck shots, no shoulder shots..wastes meat..in luno behind shoulder 1 /2 way up.
It takes a wee bit for a moose to fill up lungs with blood and end oxygen getting to the brain..resulting in death or him voting liberal.
You will do well..the trick is finding them..harvesting is relatively easy..moose hurt a lot..

I use Horned precision hunter 178 grain ammo for my 30 06 but it also depends on what your rifle likes
