Several years ago was looking for an all around Big Game caliber with lower recoil for the wife was told 6.5x55swede or 7mm-08 I said for moose and elk too? and was told absolutely yes so from what I have been told you should be Golden. Heck I was told that my 06 w/165's can get the job done(not that brave would use 180 or 200)Hope I wasn't mis-lead because I would feel really bad if I said something that was flawed and messed up somebody's hunt of a lifetime

Some of you guys might not remember stories that I used to post about my old friend Bill from right here in Wyoming. He has a room full of North American trophies from the Rio Grande to central Alaska. All were take with his '06/165 except for one Kodiak. He used his '06 on the other three Kodiaks, the huge Yukon moose, and all his Shiras moose (or is it meese?) plus everything else. This old S & W Howa with a bent Redfield is the only rifle he owns. So never unestimate the gun if the owner can shoot or in Bill's case is not even a particularily good shot. Lucky is far better than good.

Plenty, but hey, it never hurts to buy a new rifle.
Probably won't even need that gun's long-range capability anyways, moose are in the thick stuff. Always though it was funny how the biggest widest most awkward deer was always in the thickest, nastiest country you can find.
