Sierras will just bounce off a moose,heard it on the 'fire. Nice rifle too. More like splat and fall to the ground, rather than bounce.... BSA,the critter just might bounce little after hitting the ground.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

A '17 Enfield chambered in a .338 Edge or Lapua would be an elk rifle to brag about.

Did have a '17 Enfield in a .338 A2. A 250 gr NP at 3120 fps it certainly worked on an oryx. The rifle weighed 11 lbs.
