a good caliber is one that YOU can shoot well and easy to find ammo. i have friends that shoot .308 out to 1000 yards accuratly. 7 mag and 30-06 are both excellent calibers. 270 is my choice.

U will need atleast a 50 cal to have enough energy to cleanly kill at this range and even then ur energy will only be about will be only about 646 maybe less can't remember the exact muzzle vel. foot pounds. Moose have a lot of meat on them and u need a lot of energy to be able to punch through. Go to handloads.com they have a calculator that is pretty close and type in what cartages ur looking at and see what I'm talking about.

This is stupid. There is no way you can buy a gun and leave with it in a few days and expect to make a thousand yard shot. By the questions you have asked, it shows you are learning about calibers.
Those types of shots take skill, practice and a lot if shots fired down the range. There many many variables to account for at ranges like that.
Also don't expect to shoot off the box ammo and make that shot.

X2 I agree, but if you are serious good luck to ya. If I was leaving for a moose hunt on Tuesday i wouldnt be counting on finding my gun on a hog hunting msg board. I would go to the gun store and buy me one. But to each his own.
