So a buddy at work who is a new hunter and only has a .22 and a 12ga shotgun wants to put in for our states moose lottery. He could borrow a 308 or 30-06 from family and even from myself but is really interested in doing it with what he has, specifically foster slugs out of a field barrel. I know this setup can work very well for deer within the appropriate distance but moose?
There are plenty of recommended (7mm, .270, 308, 30-06) and not recommended calibers (.243, 30-30, etc) but I can't really find any good answer searching the web to give him about shotgun slugs other than if you keep the shot close (>50-60 yards) and the usual talk of proper shot placement.
What's everyone's thoughts? or even better experiences? Could a given distance restrictions he reliably take a moose or should I really pressure him to borrow a more traditional CXP3 gun.
