I am currently in Alberta Moose hunting, see my report here.
One of the other hunters was hunting with a 6.5 Creedmore on Remington 700 Action. He did not get a moose. I definitely would have like to see how it performed on that animal.
By subjective comparison only, I saw how my 338/06 IMP with a Sierra 250 Game King at 2950 fps with Lake City ball cases performed on a moose. I have shot a lot of deer and an Elk with it. I would not consider any 6.5 or 6.8 for moose.
Yes, I know the Swedes love there 6.5 for moose.
The 6.5's and the 6.8 are good deer cartridges. I have just ordered a new Stag Arms 6.8 SPC bull barrel upper that I intend to set up for Coyotes.
