[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2679695, member: 313"] I spend a lot of money on most of my guided hunts. The last thing I'm inclined to do is use a marginal cartridge/bullet. When in doubt - size up. I shot a Maine bull moose with a 402gr Hammer bullet ((45-70). I chose the 45-70 for that hunt because the terrain is heavily forested and I expected shot opportunities to be close. On a broadside shot @ 125yds, the bullet impacted in the center of his lungs. He just stood there for a second and took a couple of slow steps before the hammer dropped again. Two of those giant bullets and he went down. Both bullets exited. Moose can absorb a lot of horsepower. [/QUOTE]
