I too am very fond of my 7mm Mauser, but, although I'm sure it could do the job if I could, for moose I'd choose (someday, if I'm lucky), the .35 Whelan, .45-70, .33 Winchester, or .30-06. As you can see, I'm all about being prepared, and also all about oldies-but-goodies -- no new "short mags" for me. There are, of course, 100 cartridges that could do the job ... those just happen to be what I have available. TT
