Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Moose rifle

I shot this cow in N.H. in 2008 with an 18 1/2" barrel 308 using Hornady's 150 grain JSP. She took two hits at 120 yards. She kept eating at the first shot behind the right shoulder. The second shot high in the left shoulder dropped her instantly. She weighed 610# at the check station.


This bull was shot in Maine in 2015 at about 60 yards. Straight on shot just above the brisket. The rifle was a sporterized 03 Springfield loaded with 180 grain Remington Corelocts from Walmart. One shot and he went maybe 20 yards before dropping. He weighed 819# at the check station.


I guess the moral of the story is you don't really need high tech bullets.
