[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1980343, member: 103947"] Again...Shot placement is King. Shoot a Big Bull Moose quartering toward shooter can spell trouble even with the 338s. It's a simple issue of taking the shot when the animal presents the best shot. Shooting at a quartering too hunter tells me either the hunter didn't want to lose the opportunity of getting the shot off at the moose or he knew he could thread the needle and hit exactly where he wanted. Obviously, both were the case. Ya, a big 300 grain 338 bullet in front of 100 grains of powder probably would have been better but what would have been best is a better shot opportunity. The 300 Win magnum with today's premium bullets WILL kill big Bull Moose effectively when shot placement is considered first. Put it this way... Your not undergunned by no means with it for Moose. Period. If you think you are, you better shoot it alot more. [/QUOTE]
