[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1614080, member: 10429"] A lot of European's has shot moose with 6.5 calibers. I would step up to a 160 grain bullet or go wit a barns bullet. Its hard to beat barns for toughness. If your stuck on the 140's then use the accubond and not the long range AB. I would also limit my shots to 300 yards so you have plenty of energy to expand the bullet and it penetrates. Keep shooting till the animal is down or the mag is empty. If your an excellent shot with you creed then one in the neck spine and the animal will go down. If not shoot behind the shoulder for lungs and heart. It still may go a little distance but it will go down. Our animals do not wear suits of armor but they do have a really strong will to survive. I seen a moose get dropped with a 140 Berger at 450ish yards. 2 shots. first one he locked up and the 2nd put the moose on his ***. Bullet penetrated through the rib cage and lungs but not through the animal. It was stuck in the off side ribs. It was done with a 6.5x284 Norma. Short answer AB, and keep shooting till its down or your empty. [/QUOTE]
