7mm-08 factory loads for moose

[ChasnDreams]

I have seen a lot of moose shot including 3 in the last 18 months. I'll add on that they are not hard to kill and you have a larger than normal target. I honestly would feel fine shooting a .243 for them. Hit them in the lungs with any quality hunting bullet and you will have a dead moose. I get trying to find the best so in your shoes, I would likely shoot 140 to 150 grain partitions or accubonds if they were available. I don't really care for the ballistics of anything heavier than 150 grains personally.

I picked up a box from Choice Ammo loaded with 150gr partitions to try with a mix of other options. Thank you for the information.

If they shoot good in your rifle, I would stop your search and move on to your other gear for the trip.
