Shoot a heavier bullet.

All other things being equal (not they ever are) a heavier bullet will out penentrate a lighter one.

Without knowing what caliber/cartridge you use, I would say just go up in grain weight, as long as accuracy is accptable.

I've shot quite a few moose, and i've not found a better bullet than Nosler partitions. I really like the way the nose blows off and creates a big wound chanell, and then the rest of the bullet drives on through, going deeper than any other expanding bullet i've ever used.

Sure, a solid will out penetrate them, but the partition does it while leaveing a good wound chanell!!

Bonded bullets expand fairly well, but any bullet that holds together while expanding well, isn't going to penetrate like a partition.

I like my bullets to go on through with good penetration, and Nosler has the bullet that does that best for me.

I've hunted several years now with the Federal Premium ammunition with the Trophy Bonded bullet. It has never failed me.
