Moose aren't that hard to kill, and there isn't one animal I shot with the 30-06 that a heavier bullet or partition would have made them any deader...


That says a lot for the good ol 165gr. Hornady interlock. My 30-06 also loves both the SP and BTSP. They sure do kill stuff well too...

I won't argue with you about the interlocks....
My Dad and Uncle both ordered pre-64 300 h&h's many moons ago, and had Winchester ship them directly to Weatherby to get them chambered for the 300 Weatherby. Then, they used nothing other than Hornady Interlocks for 30 years of additional hunting in Eastern Oregon. (successful hunting)
Uncle Walt hand loaded for both Dad and himself, buying Weatherby brass and putting 180 grain interlocks on the nose.
