Some have suggested that i get my wife a 7mm08 instead of a 25-06 I have found both today. Which one is more accurate. We plan on moving from AK, where we will be doing some moose hunting, to the Mid West or some where we will hopefully have the op. to hunt Mullies as well as white tail. I guess what I am asking is will the 7mm 08 have enought umph to kill a moose? And what kind of accuracy will one get out of a 7mm 08? It is a new round to me and I am very unfamiliar with it.

Recoil is nice, accuracy is good enough for what you need it for. The 7mm bullet is known for it's ballistic effeciency.
The point was made earlier that with the right bullet the 7-08 is plenty for moose, if the shot is placed correctly. I concur and emphasize the shot placement and the choice of projectile.
PS, One of my friends/ my wife SSG his daughter killed a cow today...props to the girl!!!
