He said small Elk and possibly black bear Not Moose and Brown Bear! 
. In all seriousness, any of the rounds you mentioned will be fine.
LOL I don't get the appeal of the mosin, they are clunky, heavy, bulky and not remotly accurate even by WWII standards. Sure you can fire 40 year old cheap corrosive ammo through them, but truth be told I would not shoot that junk through my rifles if it were free. Before the cult jumpes my case...yes I have shot Mosins before, I found them to be a piss poor and would much rather spend the extra $160 on a quality NIB Savage ANYDAY. If I wanted to hunt with a mil-surp rifle I would take a German or Sweed Mauser. Heck I would take a South American or Turkish mauser over the Mosin.
HELL NO, avoid the Remingtons like the plague until they can fix their QC issues, I have owned three new Remingtons and they were all JUNK!!!! I warned a friend of mine to avoid them, as usual he ignored me and a couple weeks later he was cussing reminton out because even after a fartory rebuild it would not work right. He ended up selling it to a new sucker at a gun show and bought a Savage that he is thrilled with. The ONLY remington I keep in my safe is an old 552 Speedmaster they built back when they gave a $#(! about their quality. I would not trade my Tikka for the whole darn Remoington factory today.
Hell yeah! The M70 featherweight in 6.5x55 is a much loved rifle, shame they are so darn hard to find right now. Every single person I know who has hunted with a 6.5x55 lists it as their favorite hunting rifle, virtualy no kick, superb accuracy, and remarkable terminal performance. Never needed to track anything shot with mine, liquified lungs and golfball sized exit wound are testament to their killing power.
Don't get me wrong, my CDL was the best looking rifle I have ever owned, shame it would not chamber a round and remington refused to fix it. I like the look of the remington rifles, but I hate how every single one of them I have tried for the past decade (mine and others) have been defective. If you got a good one consider yourself lucky, I have had horrable luck with them and refuse to touch another one until they fire their whole QC staff. Now to be fair, one of my 700s was a real shooter, but I could not stop the rusting despite my best efforts, not even a weekly cleaning and fresh oil would slow it down. Mabey that is just the result of our salt air here, but I never had that issue with my Savages, Marlins, Winchesters or any other brand.kachok, i really enjoy most of your posts--very informative--and i share your preference for cartridges in 6=7 mm range. but, based on my own experience, you might be wrong in a general condemnation of the 700 remmy line.
i recently purchased a cbl, new, in 7mm/08. i gave the barrel a quick cleaning, and fired about a dozen random rounds from a couple different factory loads. from fifty yards. i then chose to shoot a "serious" group with federal fusions. all three within a shared cloverleaf. and i can promise you that i am no great shootist.
and get this: the trigger is untouched from the factory, and definitely creepy. i guess i am just lucky, but that is the best factory rifled action i have ever seen.
pretty wood, too.
Tikka makes a hella good rifle, but unless you hunt elk or larger the 300 WSM is an overkill, not to mention a harsh kicker in a featherweight Tikka. I would pass on that one unless you are VERY recoil hardend or want to add an aftermarket recoil pad/tubes. Factory tikka pads are kind of hard, not an issue on my 6.5x55 but with 300 mag recoil I would want something with a bit more give to it like a limbsaver.
