We hunted them up in Canada a couple times. It really was a lot of fun. They tookus in on some lake in the middle of no where for hoursin a boat. The wind was blowing and I thought I would freeze to death in the boat. The camp was nice.We lived in a half log half tent house (actually real nice in there). I've no idea what species of moose we were either. One of the guys with us, shot his with a 30-06 (same caliber rifle I was using) and that thing looked at him like he had to be kidding. So he popped it again, and it just started walking fast, off. So he shot again, and then it went crashing down in the brush. What a sight! All three hits were right behind the shoulder where they should have been. Why that moose soaked lead up the way it did, I have no idea.

One of the other guys that was with the group the year before shot his moose with a 30-06 and it turned and headed right towards him and his partner. They just kept shooting, and it finally must have soaked enough lead and went down. That's why I always felt they were hard to kill.

If I were going to use a 1-60 twist, I would work up an accurateroundball with as much power/powder as I could. I would practice and make sure I could place it each time. Then I would get with in 75 yards or closer and let fly. Then just sit back and let the ball do its job and hope the big fellow did not notice all the smoke...

I've seriously thought about hunting them with a .58 caliber roundball, but the White with a scope would give me an advantage with thebig conical knock down power I believe. Now I just have to get going and do some of these hunts I want before the old body say.. no way! And believe me, that is a scary thought.
