CO Cow Moose - 300 Win Mag Round Recommendation

[hhargrave]

My wife drew a cow moose tag here in Colorado. Plan to use “our” 300 Win Mag and looking to get round recommendations. She’s no stranger to taking animals with this rifle but moose is a first for both of us. Furthest distance will be 300yds.

We have a few 180gr rounds that this rifle shoots well; will that be enough or do we need punch up closer to 200gr? Or is the bullet more important than weight? Any real world advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Your 180 loads will be plenty adequate.

I took down a cow with one 180 gr. Plenty of punch for a cow moose. If it shoots good, use it.

Absolutely fine. Shiras moose are not hard to kill.

I would shoot whatever you would take for elk.
