Nothing quite like shooting a moose in the guts, and when you do a head on guess where your bullet is going?
all this saod i had a factury nosler 250 grain only penetrate 12 inches on a bad angle..but the 50 inch bull did drop like a stone.
Depends on his actions... 200 yards is simple for me. But so is getting him closer.. if he is coming amd the wind is good he will come closer..that said i shoot a 338 RUM.
I wpuld end for end him
As well never call from a spot you dont have a rockin rest

I find I shoot better off hand if the game is moving.
If you are a confident AND skilled shot (the two can be mutually exclusive...), know the capabilities of your rifle/cartridge combo, the shot presentation allows for penetration to the vitals, and have a good rest, I say take the shot and know that the beast will likely turn for a follow up shot, if not drop. If you're using something like a TSX/TTSX, Partition, bonded core, that bullet will penetrate plenty.

Been there, fired one 160 accubond from 7mm Center of brisket dropped like a sack of hammers, ate the steaks all winter and the rest is just a memory
if you feel confident - shoot, if not...try to get closer...
most of the time I know if I will make the shot when I raise the gun...
