A lot of calibers have "enough" bite but are hardly close to ideal. How many sporting weapons in the last 50 years were made in .303 British? Isn't this an indication that there are much better rounds?

My Moose guide in Newfoundland said almost every local owns a .303 British and more moose are killed with that then anything else. The .303 is a real DOG too.

I asked my Newfoundland Moose outfitter if a .270 was enough gun. He said definitely. Just use a Nosler Partition. I harvested a cow moose quickly with it. For my South African Safari I used a .308 with Nosler Partitions. Took 6 animals, including the hard to kill Wildebeest, with one shot each...

thinchliff, thanks for the reply. Certainly sounds like a great experience. Kind of steep in cost when compared to a South African Safari but a totally different experience.

Could you give us more details. Did you rent or bring your rifle? Cost? Physical exertion on a scale of 1-10? Did you catch any fish and what kind? I was born in Italy but grew up in the US. I never knew there was hunting possible there other than Wild Boar. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations. You are lucky to have a friend like this.

Always wondered how they balance those mounts.

If the fly right out of a fast crossbow, they would be awesome.

Terrific. You sure that Crossbow is shooting 495 fps?

Well if you're not trying to kill a cinder block, it looks pretty good.

Great hunt.

Great hunt.

I don't see a Satellite phone in your equipment list.

Anyone consider asking your outfitter?

Oh boy. You opened a can of worms.
