Default Moose vs. Berger VLD Hunting Bullet??

Gentlemen,

I currently shoot a TCPro Hunter 300winmag,using the 168 Grain VLD Berger hunting bullet. I have had nothing but great success at the range and shooting whitetail. I will be Hunting moose and mountain goat in BC this year. I have a two part questions:

Have any of you shot a moose using a berger bullet? If so what grain/caliber did you use? And the Results??

Any other good bullets to use on them?

Thanks guys for your input!!

I agree with Ridge Runner. You might be able to make moose hunting a long range affair, but I thought they lived in the thick stuff.

You need penetration. A Berger bullet is designed for Ballistic Coefficient. They are made to be able to open up at long range.

I think a Berger would do the job. Any bullet will kill if you put it through the ribs. But I think it is the wrong tool for the job. You can pound nails with a crescent wrench.

An accubond, triple shock, grand slam, partition, or similar would be a better choice.
