Moose bullet for tikka .243

@Treeman_MG up here your target distance may determine your bullet. Be prepared for for anything from 20’ to 400 yards is a pretty all encompassing range. The extremes are there for sure, but that’s going to be there. Being best prepared for the majority of ranges is going to help you the most. If you’re not confident in the longer stuff, get closer or find another target, shorter, good luck. Your greatest difficulties are finding a legal bull.

Pic is a 58” at like 20’, head shot with a 375 h&h, a buddy shot it, this last season. We hiked in after another set of bulls with a long shot at 6-700, I was designated shooter on that with my 6.5 prc and experience in that stuff, until the strip we planned on pack out being not suitable. Varied terrain is the game sometimes up here. Depends on your area

It’s hard for me to comment my last 2 moose were shot at 25 yards off a snowmachine, with a muzzleloader, the only moose I’ve seen drop on the shot.

Have fun and don’t worry about bullet so much, pick one and go, it’s been done before. Focus on hunt prep, being fit enough to create the shot and putting the bullet where it needs to go.

Thanks for the advice, and sweet pics! I definitely don't plan on shooting over 400 yards, and hopefully much less than that. We will be in a 50"/4 brow tine unit, so making absolutely sure any bull we think about shooting is legal will be #1 priority.
