45-90 300 grain jhp will do the job. 1886 Winchester.

IF I was going after either BIG bears or moose, I would take my Remington Model 760 in 9.3x62MM, that I bought to take a Cape Buff in Africa.= A 9.3x62 shoots a 300 grain bullet (JSP or SOLID) at about 2300FPS. - That cartridge has a LOT of MUZZLE ENERGY & STILL PLENTY of “knock down” out at 200M.

Personally, I am a huge fan of Hornady. Also, a big fan of Swarovsky glass. To me, if your hunting big/dangerous game they are both your best bet.

I own and have extensively shot two on the list - the .45/70 and the .338 Win Mag. I’d feel properly armed with either of them inside 100 yards which is about as far as I am willing to take a shot while hunting.

Have killed moose with 6.8 spc, 110 grain ttsx and with my 308 scar. Out in the sticks, everybody uses cheap old military rifles (SKS. Luv my 30-378 also. Load lapua brass with 98 grains RL-22 and 180 grain TTSX. Leaves barrel at 3280. Just too much for moose unless you're shooting halfway across the Yukon.
Use the gun you can put 3 bullets thru the same hole at 100 yards, moose ain't that tough if you hit them right.

I would take a shot at 200M with the 9.3X62MM that JESSIE at JES reformatted for me.
(Jessie’s work is FLAWLESS & REASONABLE in price, too.)

338 Lapua mag, 375 H&H, 9.3x62 Mauser, 35 Whelan, 300Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag are the calibers I own suitable moose and that’s the order I would chose them in. The author is right about the 6.5 Creed I own two in AR10s and neither gets the nod for moose. Elk in none bear country maybe.
If I’m taking an AR to anywhere bears are it will be my 338 federal in AR10 or 458 Socom if I really wanted to be light and carry the 12.5” Socom in AR15 but only with 400 grand hard cast hand loads that duplicate the 45_70 400gr@2300 fps it beats the tar out of the bolt group even with the gas block turned all the way down. So that upper usual shoots 250s@2200 perfect for feral hogs on walkabout haven’t recovered a single round all were pass through.
My 375H&H gets the nod anywhere there’s something with claws, teeth or hooves that’s big enough to eat or stomp me. Recoil is unnoticed when then go sideways.
