[QUOTE="Homer, post: 34339, member: 2111"] I have killed one moose so I am not an experienced moose hunter. I shot it at about 200yds and used a 300Win mag handloaded with 200 gr. Nosler Partition bullets. First shot was broadside through the chest and it exited. He turned to go into the woods and I shot him in the butt - the bullet exited behind his right front shoulder. Before I went I considered that I may not have the best shot so I wanted something that would punch through at most any angle. Anyway the 308 is a great round but I would consider something bigger. My buddy used a 7mm with 160 gr Nosler Partitions - he shot a moose at 125yds - 3 times and none of the bullets exited. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
