I've only shot one deer, a medium sized doe, with a .348, using the 200 gr. Hornady FP. That was about 25 years ago (wish I still had that rifle) and I have a very clear memory of the experience. At the shot the deer instantly went down and all four legs kicked up in the air, once.

That deer never knew what hit it and it remains the most impressive deer kill I ever made. It was a behind the shoulder, heart/lung area broadside shot. The bullet "overpenetrated".

I would not hesitate to use that bullet on an elk or moose within the .348's range limitations.
