[QUOTE="BAKPAKR, post: 1909726, member: 114021"] I have shot 3 moose with a 300 RUM. All three were within 50 yards so the bullets were still moving pretty fast. The first two of those were with 200 gr Accubonds. I wasn’t too pleased with the results. I am not saying they blew up, but I didn’t think I got good penetration. Had my shots been broadside, behind the shoulder, I am sure they would have been fine. Unfortunately, those are not the shots I was presented with. I used a 200 gr Barnes LRX on the last moose. It went down in its tracks, after a quartering to me shot (same angle as the first shot on RUM moose # 2). I hope to draw another tag to see if that was just a fluke 😀 I don’t think you need a 300 RUM for a moose, but I do think you need a bullet that will hold together at closer ranges based on the velocity you are starting it out at. FYI - 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips out of a 300 Winchester wouldn’t be my first choice in a do over either. They did blow up. [/QUOTE]
