168 TSX for moose?

[Elkhntr08]

Getting a start on putting together a moose hunt in Alaska for 2023 or 2024.
I have a Remington 673 in 300 saum that’s is always my grab and go rifle. Points like a shotgun and shoots where I point it.
It’s favorite load in the 168 TSX at 2875.
In your opinion, will that do for moose? Plan on a primarily archery hunt, the rifle will be a backup of last few days option.

100%, just keep impact velocity over 2000 fps.

Grab and go!

Good luck.

weve used these in a 300 win mag with great results. Just remember there is a min. Velocity for proper expansion so longer ranges might be an issue, especially on the larger critters.

I spent many years hunting Alaska and killing moose with that exact caliber and bullet. You'll be just fine.

Nothing wrong with a 168gr TSX in 0.308 traveling at or over 2000fps.

I killed my bull last fall at 415yds with that bullet. He didn’t take a step.

Sounds like a perfect rifle and load to me!

They work great out of my 30-06, 2 bull moose 1 elk. Shots were 30 190 and 230 yards running at 2940 fps. All 1 shot kills.

I’ve killed a bull with a 168 grain TTSX, from a 300 WM, impact velocity 3,093 fps. Great bullet performance.

Should be fine up to 500 yards or so. I use the 168 TTSX as my main 308 load for all big game but personally like to keep my shots under 300 if possible.

Dad used 168 TSX in his .308 in 2020... worked just fine.
