[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 2611133, member: 91402"] I have hunted with lots of friends who used 7 mag on moose here in BC. Most use heavy, premium bullets and have no trouble. Deep penetration is a must in case your shot isn't the best and you need a follow up on a poor angle. Long shots aren't unusual across meadows or swamps but moose are big targets. A good rangefinder is a help because judging distance can be tricky. I once called in a moose that came out into a meadow with a small lake in the middle of it and when I took the shot nothing happened, so a took another and then another. Still he just stood there in the clear mountain air with the afternoon sun contrasting his dark fur against the yellow grass, big as life, and I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I couldn't imagine missing him. I squatted down and used a dead snag as a rest, took my time and aimed another shot at him and under his belly I could see the bullet splash in the lake behind him. I was aiming way low. With the sun on him I thought he was only about three hundred yards away and he was at least five. I got him with the next shot. [/QUOTE]
