I have both a 30.06 and a 300wm . eather one will take a moose ,However , the 300 has you know has a little more power . But power is not everything . Bullet placement is far more importent . The recoile on the 300 my be a little stiffer than the 30.06 ,but not a lot . If this is the only rifle you plan on owning ,I would get the 30.06 . It will take anything in the the U.S except the big bears . You said the men you will be hunting with use 30.06 . There you go . they know best .
