Would you share how/what led you to believe a .308 is suitable for elk and moose!?
Excuse me but your reply to rabidralph shows that you are the naive one. 30-06 and 308 have been dropping Elk and Moose for years. In fact when I was a boy I knew Colorado Elk hunters who used a .30-30 with the 170 grn bullet and killed elk every year with them.
As for his shooting at 600 yards he has already explained that and if you had really read his original comment you would know he wasn't talking about taking game at 600 yards.

You’re excused! And I wouldn’t put the 30-06 in the same terminal-ballistic class as the 308. I’d also wager those hunters were *quite* experienced, competent stalkers and/or ambushers who made their shots count. Or else they didn’t give a hoot how long their blood-trails were or if they recovered what they shot.
