have 2 questions..:

I just bought a couple boxes of 308 SAKO 150gr super hammerhead and my question is: why sako don't recommend this bullet for moose and it has Energy of 2020 ft-lbs at 300 yards and we all know that to kill a moose you need a minimum of 1500 ft-lbs of energy....this bullets should be good enough..???? tks

2nd:
What would be the best bullet for moose??? 308 trophy bonded tip (vital shock) 180gr or nosler partition (vital shock) 180 gr or Sako super harmmerhead 180 gr....)the trophy tip is the only one that reach his B.C of .500)???

Honestly Capt, I've taken a few Moose with .30-30's pushing 150 grain corelocts. Granted I was within 150 yards on every one of them, and within 75 yards of MOST of them. At 300 yards, I really would want a minimum of 180gr bullet weight. I usually carry one of my .30-06's loaded with 220gr Hornady Interlocks nowadays and that knocks the snot bubbles out of them real quick and proper. At 300 yards, the .308 is kind of a minimum cartridge. Especially for a Big Yukon Bull. I would personally recommend you get to 200 yards if at all possible even with a 180gr bonded bullet or solid. They really aren't hard to get close on in MOST places unless you are old with horrible knees like me.

I just bought some Federal premiun 180 gr. nosler partion and Hornady interlock spire point 180 gr also.................
All 165 gr like hornady interbond and barnes ttsx 168 gr. and vital shock TB tip 165gr are hard to find here in Quebec at this time of the year
