[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1966871, member: 75933"] I'd go for a 160+ barnes or hammer bullet at reasonably fast speeds. try for a quartering away shot where the bullet can enter the ribs and pass into the vitals without meat damage. Have a couple friends who tried the 180 VLD's on moose in AK, they swore them off after eating lead in every package of burger. they'll kill alright, but the shrapnel needs to be considered too. The barnes or hammer may fracture, but worst case is 4 copper petals and a shank left over, no lead to worry about. So, 160+ in the 7mm or a good stout 150gr copper in the 308 and good shot placement. [/QUOTE]
