Top 5 most effective low recoil hunting cartridges that are capable for deer, antelope, black bear and just enough for moose and elk if proper shot placement is taken with high quality suitable bullets are used. To be considered low recoil the cartridge must have under 15 pounds of felt recoil.
None of these cartridges would make a good dedicated moose or elk cartridge. They are more for deer and just enough for the occasional moose or elk hunt. The only one I would personally use for elk or moose is the 7mm-08.

6.5 creedmoor 140g nosler partition, 142g nosler accubond lr
6.5x55 140g nosler partition
7mm-08 140g nosler accubonds, if a reloader 162g eld-x

I can’t stress enough shot placement and quality ammunition. Using smaller cartridges on big game means you must be willing to pass on shots unless you can hit in the vitals at a range your cartridge is capable of.
