The moose didn't seem to object to being dead with a 123gr SP PRIVI handload . Chest shot about 80 yards 3 shots .......two pass throughs. Usually they just stand and take it. One would have sufficed but she is a newbie and got excited. If a .308 or 30-06 is marginal they need to learn how to shoot or have never shot a moose.I prefer a 6.5x55 Swedish with 42gr of either N#204 or IMR 4350 and a 156-160 gr SP. Shot lots with the 130gr .270 Win as well or 170gr 30-30. Elk take a lot more killing than a moose. Elk ......Partitions,TTSX or Scirroco2's no deer bullets.
