[QUOTE="30 Hammer, post: 1407474, member: 100604"] A good good friend of mine hit a Moose 3 times in the shoulder at 440 yards in BC last year with a Berger 215 from a .300 Ultra Mag and never found the moose, never knocked him down. He’s a terrific shot and has killed a lot of game. In that instance I say 1. He should have used a Barnes or 2. moved his shot behind the shoulder and let the Berger do what it does best and turn the vitals into jello. People seem to think all bullets kill with the same method / physics which is incorrect as most on here realize. If a guy is dead set on shoulders on Moose size game I think the solid coppers are the way to fly and now with the TTSX , Hammers , Cutting Edge and LRX we have a lot to choose from. As for meat loss - this always baffles me. One animal = like 50 few pounds of extra meat damage. I’ve seen guys lose animals because they didn’t take what ended up being a necessary follow up shot worried about meat. Shoot them in the neck but shoot them. Elk, Moose are two animals that can take a beating and keep pushing. Worry about killing first , meat damage second. It’s usually minimal if you control yourself and make good shots. [/QUOTE]
