[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 907385, member: 1007"] It's hard to EVER go wrong with behind the shoulder hits. Shoulders can be a good thing but can also be a bad thing. In my experience with the 208, at least with a mature Alaskan/Yukon bull moose, the shoulder is not the place to put a 208. A cow elk or average bull elk might be another story but big moose and the 208 is not a good combo. Lets just leave it at that. All that said, there's not a lot of bullets that I trust for shoulder shots on mature Alaska bull moose. Ribs, a lot if good bullet choices. Shoulders, not so much. I love the 208 amax for hunting but it has limits like everything else. Use it accordingly. [/QUOTE]
