[QUOTE="former naval person, post: 29219, member: 1508"] Sir...hae killed 5 Elk with the .338 and have been pleased all the way. I like the 210 Nosler or the 225. Last elk was at @ 500 yds...couldn't get closer-across canyon. Held about 12 inches over back and dropped into mid chest. Sighted in 3 1/2 inches high at 100. Broke shoulders, penetrated chest and stayed under hide on far side. As usual, kept shooting till he dropped. Put 5 into him. First one anchored him to the spot, but since he didn't drop, kept shooting. Recommend you do the same. Long distances aren't fun in the snow. Moose about the same size, but a bit more tender. I would think (don't know) that the same bullet would work well.H 4831 SC at about 69 or 70 grains ought to give you about 2850 to 2900 fps with the 210 Nosler Partition. Won't get better than that. Good hunting. Paul [/QUOTE]
