[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1781538, member: 1940"] Never shot a moose, but a big bunch of elk and seen results from several hundred more through 38 years of guiding in CO. Berger HVLD’s and Hornady ELDM’s are my go-to target and varmint bullets. Shot 4 elk with Berger’s. 140 gr HVLD. Two were hundred yard broadside shots that utterly destroyed the chest cavity contents. One was a little forward into the front of the shoulder. Never saw that cow again. A marginal shot at best but I’ve often wondered if a stouter bullet would have made a difference. 180 gr HVLD. The best performance from a Berger, IMO, was a 1098 yard bull. Broadside shot with good expansion and penetration to the off side hide. Like the cup and core bullets we used 40 years ago the thin jacket bullets tear up way too much meat, bloodshot like the whitetail photo and frequently less penetration to suit me. I want to kill my game and not ruin half the meat in the process. [/QUOTE]
