[QUOTE="dakor, post: 562683, member: 2204"] Wildrose, Body weight has nothing to do with toughness and for all the Moose I have seen shot they don’t seem to take up much lead at all. My uncle shot his with a 38 Special at 50 yards and it was a bang flop type of deal. Figure that energy out at 50 yards with 157gr bullet. Now that is one example I know but a friend of mine dropped one in his tracks with a bow and arrow? I have seen Elk take hits with some big calibers at long and short range and not even flinch and walk away to be found dead. Another guy I worked with shot a Moose at 300 + yards with a 7mm mag and cheap federal factory ammo and that Moose folded up like a house of cards. So in my experience Moose do not seem very hard to kill and I sure would not worry about a 7mm mag being too small on one at long range. [/QUOTE]
