Moose gun
Uploaded on August 25, 2011I was looking into going on a Maine Moose hunt, I also intend on hunting black bear, and Elk at some point of time. I was wondering if the 45-70 was an adequate moose round. From what I've heard if it dosnt go down it just might kill you. Or would I be better off with a 7mm or 300?

I only know what a Maine moose guide said at a sport show a couple of years ago, that he preferred to see his hunters with a .444 or .45-70 over a belted magnum. That surprised me, but he's the guide, I was just listening.
Not sure on the .45-70 but My dads friend went to Alaska and killed a nice bull with a .300 win mag and he said the thing just dropped. I also know the .300 is a great elk rifle.
I used a .338 win-mag on my Maine moose hunt last year. Worked fine. Did you get drawn in the lottery? Took me 12 years!
A friend of mine usually gets one per year (native) and shoots a .270 for the last decade or so.
The 450 marlin is a 45-70 beefed-up, 444 marlin and 45-70 will do just fine. good medicine for moose and griz. check out the new Hornady leverevolution ammo for these rounds. I cant wait to try the 444 one day for moose.
