is a .270 good enough for moose?

[Adam.c]

ok so me and my dad and his friend got 2 bull moose draws in 7-23 i think it is and my dad is wondering if a .270 is good enough to take down a moose from 200-300 yards away.

Adam,

Yes it is enough to drop a moose at 200 - 300 yards as long as he hits the vitals.

Happy Hunting!

I have very little experience with a 270 but I watched my brother shoot a young bull with his 270. The moose trotted about 20 yards and fell over. Looked good enough to me

No question it will do the job.

Ive done it works like a charm as long as you shootem in the right spot. Get some good 150 grains and you will be good to go.

A clean shot in the vitals with a .270 will kill any moose on the planet. It may have a little less margin for error than a bigger gun, but I'd call it still very adequate with any of the heavier loads.

ok thanks guys and i dont no for sure but i know its in the 7-20's

IMO.......No. Don't shoot moose with a .270 My experience with people from down south is that they can't hit the broad side of a barn. No offense.........I hope you're not one of those people. That said, I know guys who shoot a moose with the .270 every year and swear by them. You got to hit them right.

Not an impressive statement Kris!
