    Re: Bullet Type for Moose

    I use Accubonds....
    I shot a moose at 100yards with a 338cal 250Grainer flying at 3055fps...... it went through 3/4 of the bull.....smashing the front shoulder at exit and carried on I'm pretty sure it expanded..... the hole on the other side was a lil larger than .338

Some guns just don't like certain ammo. I have a buddy that tried highly recommended ammo and the gun would not shot anyway near consistent. He went back to his old factory ammo and it was back to very accurate. And as others have said, get out and shoot, shoot, shoot. Know how your gun will perform.
    my 30-06 win m70 seems to spray nosler partitions all over the target but groups great with those cheap remmie core-locs????

    There ya go. Go to the dollar store and buy yourself some beach balls. Head out into the forest and have atter. Just be safe and remember to take out the holey balls out with you. IMHO, all the advise here has been great. You can't go wrong what is being said.

    Side note: The posters on this site are so refreshing. Try asking this question on one of those FB forum and see the crap that get spewed out. To all members.... keep up the great work

    180 Nosler Partitions.
    Federal Premium offers this in 30-06, and it is an excellent performer.

    Shot mine with a 7-08 with a 120gr TTSX, deader then dead. Moose are wimpy creatures, they usually bed quite quickly after being hit. Unlike elk which will want to put a mountain between you and them if they are wounded.

    I would buy a box of the 150Gr, 168Gr, and 180Gr Barnes TTSX and see which one your gun likes best. All of them will drop a bull with one shot if correctly placed. Awesome ammo

    I have yet to have someone state their gun doesn't like either Remy corlokts or federal blue box as far as group size goes. One day I might even pick up some Remington corlokt projectiles. A sponsor on cgn has em
