If he were to get drawn, and decided to use his .243, which premium bullet would you recommend?


I have no experience with moose other than our scraggly little shira's. But of the 3 of those I've seen shot and killed with a 243, one went down in a heap after being hit with hornday 100 gr,one with a 95 gr partition, and one was a Winchester 100 gr factory load.
So maybe try several of the "premium" bullets to see which shoots the best, and if none of them out shoot the the plane ol 100 gr cup and cores then go with the cup and core.

the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.
