I am surprised at how many are satisfied with the 265grn Hornady FP. Enlightening. I've been very happy with Hornady's 30 cal selection but I never considered them a tough FP levergun bullet maker. I may try them out if they present themselves for the right price.
I agree that moose should be similar to Elk but I have no experience with them. I've heard aiming too high on a Yukon Moose equals a running/lost animal or a charging bull. RM Elk have heavy bones and really require good penetration. I assumed the .444 throwing a 300grn would minimum for Elk. Too bad Nosler doesn't offer a Partition as an alternative to the spendy A-Frame. Although, Nosler isn't always cheap themselves.
I got these 300grn Uni-Cor bullets on clearance not really knowing too much about them. The boxes looked really old but I know copper and lead doesn't expire. They will be in my first loadings. If I were to try out solid cast is there leading concern if they are pushed fast?
