ive taken 2 cow moose with my .270 shooting 140grain remington premier A frame bullets, but honestly I would highly suggest a rifle of at least .30 cal for moose.i was lucky and both were shot at very close range(under 50yards), and both went down very quickly.shot placement is so crucial on moose,i believe more so than most other big game animals.you really want to try your absolute best effort to double lung em.
Lots of moose have been shot with the 150 gr Remington core-lokt bullets. Pretty inexpensive and highly effective.
I would go with one of the loads from hornady like their xp3 ammo it would be one of the best bullet combo for moose. They run like $41.99 FOR 150 GR. in cabelas or the winchester E-tip ammo it goes for $40.99 BUT ONLY COME IN 130GR.
Ok Hornaday does not make XP3 ammo, your 270 will be fine with a 140 Trophy Bonded or a 150 Nosler Partion just make sure you place the shot right.
150 grain Winchester Super X is a great load.
The Winchester Super X is the one bullet I've tried thjat I can't get good groups with. I've tried Federal Fusion and Remington Core Lokt and got 1" groups at 100 yards and the Super X were about 2".
Thanks for all your answers guys!
