So to answer OP question the accubond is a better moose bullet than Edlx. It will hold together and penetrate better which is important on a big animal likes moose. You want to penetrate both lungs.
And for all those that say the 6.5 ( creed, Swede ect.) is not enough for moose. Let me explain the difference when you shoot a moose or an elk with a 6.5 and a 300 mag thru the lungs. With the 6.5 The moose -will Last 30 seconds to a minute and fall over dead. With the 300 mag it will last 30 second to a minute and fall over dead. During this time one should shoot it again because it's still standing but it will still die in the same amount of time.
I witness or pulled The trigger on semi loads of elk and big game and the placement and bullet construction is more important than the cartridge that propels it.
Now if your a front shoulder shooter and want to plant them where they stand the bigger 200 ++ gr bullets out of magnums have an definite advantage.
If you can't place bullet in the lung area on a moose, cartridge selection is the least of your problem.
