[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 1980365, member: 3230"] I have shot four Alaska-Yukon moose in AK and the Yukon at ranges from 50 yards to 325. First three were with a .338 WM but last one was with a .375H&H. In the .338 WM I have used 225 Hornady and 225 Barnes TSX. The .375 was a 300 gr Swift. Also shot one moose in BC with a .338 using 225 TSX. My last moose was stretching it for my .375 - I practiced at 300 only a few times and he was at 325; my hit was a bit high. Required follow ups. I have only shot one animal with a Core-lokt - a deer. Bullet was perfectly mushroomed. I would say it is at least as good in terms of terminal ballistics as a Berger, of which there is no shortage of fans here. Bullet placement is more important that caliber in my limited experience. I wouldn't hesitate to hunt moose with a .30-06 and 180 to 200 grain bullets but I probably never will given the other rifles I have. [/QUOTE]
