Going through a couple layers of thin sheet metal and upholstery with FMJ doesn't mean it would go through heavy hide very heavy bone and certainly wouldn't do sufficient organ damage to bring such an animal down.
Why do you even suggest something hypothetically? Use the right tool to do the job right in the first place. Don't give the impressionable some crazy ideas to go out and try a foolish stunt and cripple a big game animal.
If you consider this even a little on the hot seat. Sorry man, you earned this one.
He's just curious, you moron! He didn't earn anything from you! And I see no way someone would get encouraged to hunt moose with a .223 when they could have a 30-06!
I would get the '06for my sake, not the animal's, since bull moose could get angry and kill people. If someoneunderestimates a bull moose's killing potential when angered and decides to hunt them with something that will make them mad, I hope they hunt moose with a .223 and get killed!!!! They are theones who "earned it".
I was respectful to the originator of this thread, more than it deserved. In contrast, your insult toward me was anything but.
It's a ridiculous statement to talk about "hypothetically" doing something to a living breathing animal that’s unethical. It doesn't make sense to me nor 98% of the people here I'd bet to talk about shooting big games with a varmint round. Theother 2% don't need to have someone giving them stupid ideas to “try”.
Then you turn around and contradict your own assertion that "nobody is going to do this".... with "if they do, I hope that get stomped by a moose."
So, pull that big tree trunk out of your own eye bud before you try to tell me about the splinter you think might be in mine!
By the way, you really are projecting your own personal shortcomings on someone else when you go calling them things like "moron", unless they've demonstrated time and again that to be the case. I don't think you'd call me that if you knew me or we were face to face. For people who know me over many decades know I don’t fit that category you tried to put me in in your 30 second rant. Hope you learn to better control yourself better as you grow older.
