Moose Hunt Cartridge and Bullet

[roymunson]

Awesome! Good to hear! I have taken deer and a wolf with it and never had an issue either! Just going off what I've heard so I'm glad to hear it works well with larger game!

There's a lot of knowledge on the internet. There's also alot of bad information and lies and outright misleading things online.

Best bullet you can shoot is one you're confident with. Put it on em and have some fun.

I'd choose 300 PRC and Berger 215 Hyb Targets – that combo's straight fire for moose at 600 yards.

Moose are so big they soak up the cartridge no matter how big it is-- unless you hit the spine/ shoulder and drop it in its tracks. If you put the round in the bread basket it will do the job. I know people who do it regularly with a .243- that makes me nervous but they make sure of their shot and it works. I've taken 2 with .308 trophy copper 165 grain. One was 200 yards and the other was 370 yards. Both were double lung shot and they didn't travel 50 yards. This year I'm taking the 300 win mag just in case I need confidence for a longer shot. Take your favorite gun and have fun.

My moose experience has been,
Bull moose 250gr sst from muzzleloader 165yards
7mm08 140gr federal trophy bonded tip, 125yards, 2 shots
7mm rem mag 140 gr etip. 80 yards. 1 shot
308 win 150 ttsx 150 yards 2 shots 2 moose
280 ai 168gr lrx. Bow range 1 in the spine and a finishing shot.

All cartridges worked very well. The farthest any of the moose went was about 20 yards. That was with the muzzleloader. The rest took 1- 10 steps and fell over.
