[QUOTE="Deleted member 115374, post: 1972767"] Vlds are ok- but a moose has a pretty tough shoulder bone- if you place shots from both rifles behind the shoulder, thru the lungs then it is lethal. If you catch the shoulder too far forward into the heavy bone area then it could potentially be a problem. I prefer a Trophy Bonded Bear Claw on Moose for a couple reasons- one being weight retention after impact with bone and deeper penetration. The other is if your hunting moose it is generally in thick brush, willows, alder etc.. a bonded bullet has performed better for me under these conditions than a Berger Vld. I love the Berger line of bullets and shoot them in many calibers that I reload for but for Moose especially in Grizzly country I load TB Bear Claws. I took them to Africa a couple times as well and they performed flawlessly on Eland, Buffalo and the larger plains game. Shooting them out of 300 win mag 200 gr. as well as a combo of TB Sledgehammers solid version and TB Bear claws soft points that I was able hit same point of impact at 200 yds with 300 gr out of 375 HH.
