Custom load for moose

The "why" is to have more energy when it hits. Elk are tough and moose are bigger and tougher.

Moose are not "tough". Shoot them a bullet that creates reliable killing wounds like your 162 SSTs and watch it die.

Last September...
.80 Grain ELDX.
.2180 FPS Impact Velocity (523 Yards).
.Moose was hit once, moved forward 20 feet behind some trees. Before I could shoot again he dropped.
.Two finger sized wound channel on the entrance side turned into a 4+ finger sized wound channel most of the way through the animal.

Anything but the SST. I finally convinced a moose hunting partner to ditch those bullets after losing one moose and a terrible experience with another.

Lots of threads out there about poor terminal performance with this bullet.
