[QUOTE="Harley1953, post: 1176358, member: 5145"] Third hand info here, but relevant. My son was stationed with the Air Force for three years at Eilson AFB outside of Fairbanks. He used a single shot 45-70 for Moose and told me that was the caliber of choice with most folks he ran into for THAT particular critter. He also carried .44magnum revolver for "scary moments". I myself spent a couple weeks in the Anchorage area and remembered a conversation with a local who had lived there for many years. He stated as others on this thread have, magnums are great, but if you can't hit with them... No good. He stated he hunted bear,moose,caribou etc with a 30-06 and saw no use for the heavy magnums. Just opinions but might be useful... [/QUOTE]
