not with me directing the sharp things.But a bow is more humane right?
Im sorry but you know shit about Scandinavian moose. The scandinave moose and American moose is the exact same one and size.Scandinavian moose are close to elk in size compared to the significantly larger Yukon moose we have here in North America. Additionally they only use the 6.5x55 because it is widely available, not because it is the best.
I have a 6.5 CM , 6.5 PRC, 300 Win Mag,300 PRC, 300 Weatherby Mag., 7mm Remington Mag.Need help deciding on the cartridge I need. I have access to land in Canada and would like a round to do it all there, yet am having some issues deciding. I’ve narrowed it down to 6.5 PRC, 300 PRC, and 300 WM. We all know the pros to all of these, tell me what I’m missing with the cons:
6.5 PRC: 6.5 projectile… would like to keep it .30 for moose and bear
300 WM: I’d like to avoid reloading to headspace off the belt
300 PRC: I located SOME brass, don’t necessarily want to modify my Tenacity LA to fit Wyatt box…
My main hunting rifle is a 6.5 PRC so I’m not sure why you assume I have an issue with that bore diameter.Im sorry but you know shit about Scandinavian moose. The scandinave moose and American moose is the exact same one and size.
There is no Yukon/Alaska moose subspecies anywhere else in North American. So it’s not even close to be representative and it’s not a metric for caliber comparison. That 6.5 bullet will do the same job.
The antlers differs but that doesn’t mean shit.
In 2014 I’ve shot a 430kg Moose in Norway. That’s not small at all and that weak 6.5x55 worked perfectly fine.
Get real with your American bore diameter ego issue.
Don’t take bullet or cartridge selection advice from a guy who uses “authority” as a metric to measure bullet effectiveness and claims recoil doesn’t affect him.I learned about this topic from a hunter named Joseph Von Benedikt who runs the Backcountry Hunting Podcast and he discussed this topic a couple times in regards to elk hunting with the 6.5 Creedmoor. He had first hand experience talking with Scandinavian hunters and the general consensus was that they use the 6.5x55 because it is widely available, not because it was the best cartridge for the job.
