RE: Bullet Selection
I've shot a LOT of moose, and it's true, "IF" a moose is standing there at a decent range sideways and lets you put a shot in it's ribs, most any 165 grain will do. BUT, if that same moose is close and quartering away, EVERYTHING changes! Now you need good expansion with "lots" of penetration, and that's where the Nosler Partition (NP) shines!!!
For my "do it all" load in my 30-06 in the lower 48, i'd pick the 180 grain NP, for Alaska i'd pick the 200 grain NP.
The "do it all" part is why i'd pick the NP, as you sure don't need premium bullets to kill a deer with an 06!
