As for no experience with the .224 on a moose shoulder, I do not honestly think too many that have actual experience
These statements seem to contradict each other.I do have moose experience and have taken enough animals to develop my own opinions.
Why did this experience teach you a lesson about good bullet penetration instead of a lesson on using a bullet that performs better when it's in the animal?I shot a moose at 45 -50 yards and found a my bullet in the opposite shoulder hide. As luck would have it, I had to use a back up rifle with 180 Barnes bullets. That moose took that bullet surprisingly well at such a close range. DRT for sure, but no exit at that range was eye opening with a bullet known for good penetration.
