Call me crazy but I find Moose drop very easily. I have taken my fair share of good sized canadian moose and 3 have fallen to a 270 140 gr failsafe, all one shot kills with minimal travel. Last fall I dropped a decent bull with a 150 Gr SST out of my 7 rem mag. with one clean shot through his vitals (I was not really hunting moose at the time, but a buddy had a draw tag and the opportunity presented itself in a low population zone, so I thought what the heck). I know all about their hides, bone structure, etc as I usually hunt them with the bow but I also know most guys shoot moose at under 200 yards with a rifle in Canada and given that most bullets if placed half way decent will produce a dead bull moose. I am hoping to get drawn this year on a Rifle Moose hunt at which I plan to use 140-160 grain depending what shoots the best out of my 7 rem Mag.
I think the 160 part will do the trick, if it flies well for you. Right now I am leaning toward a 140 Gr part as it has yeilded my best groups @ 200 yards in which I have tested.(I will be hunting whitetails in the smack of rut(if the good lord doesn' t allow me to tag out in bow or ML
) at the same time, hence why I want more than just a bullet that will shoot Ok to 100-150 yards - I fully expect to have my bull on the ground by mid week and devote the rest of the time to hunting jumper) I am hoping to get my hands on the Hornady 150 Gr. Interbond, 150 Barnes X and give them a go before I make my final decision.
