New moose rifle? .300 WM vs .338 WM

[PA Hunter]

My vote is for a .300 RUM as I reload for six different ones and I love the ,200 GR Accubond for moose and elk. Brought back nine moose and a 500 lb black bear two years ago in my trailer all falling to this round with great penetration and weight retention. I also like the .338 as another option.

9 moose?

I would go with the largest caliber I could shoot well for a dedicated moose rifle. If I found myself in the fortunate position of having legitimate use for a dedicated moose rifle, it would be a .375 H&H.

I have both a 300 WM, 338WM. I love the 338 WM on Moose because of the hitting power and use in timber warfare. I love my 300 WM for Elk and Deer. Shot a British Columbia Moose with my 338 and he dropped in
his tracks.

.338WM is just too perfect for Moose, we've taken 3 with ours and none of them took a single step afterwards. Plus theres a wide range of bullets/ammo.

I've been going through the same process for an upcoming moose hunt. I'm leaning towards the 300 win in case I want to use it for deer also.

With your two choices both being good. I would go with the .338 WinMag and shoot 210Grain Nosler Patitions. I like putting a big hole in the Bull and the .338 with the 210 grain Partition going 2950 FPS is pretty close to the perfect moose round.
