moose hunting calibers

Second Hunting Rifle?

I currently have a .270 that I use or coyote, deer, and black bear (350lbs and under generally). I may begin hunting moose this year if I can get a permit. I would like a second rifle that would offer me more options. I was looking at a .300 winchester mag. Would this be a good choice mainly for moose, bear, elk and maybe even deer? My .270 is a primary rifle, but I would like a bigger rifle for moose and bear, and for an elk trip that I am planning for a few years down the road. I know the .300 is hard to shoot by some peoples standards. Thats not what I want to hear about. I am looking for information about the caliber and effectiveness and such. Thanks very much.
Yeah, I have deer hunted with a 30.06 and its really too similar to a .270. But thanks for the suggestion.

Justin, in your question you mentioned hunting moose, bear, and elk. Given this I would suggest and highly recommend a 338 Win Mag as a second rifle. I own a couple of 300s and they are very nice rifles. They will take down every animal you listed, however I’ve had to double shoot elk and brown bear with a 300 in the past. I have two 338s and a 338 lupau now. Loaded with 180 ballistic tips they do a great job on white tail and mule deer. You can load up to 300 grain rounds for Kodiak and moose or bison. I use this caliber in Africa on the plains animals and have taken lion, crocodile, and hippo with it. Accuracy, and one shot kills are the history of the 338.

Recoil IS noticeable but with hand loading and a good recoil pad you can make it feel like a 30-06. Ruger and Remington both have excellent rifles with synthetic stocks to reduce the weight of the rifle. I read somewhere in a reloading manual once that if the 45-70 and the 7mag had a child it would be the 338.
