I use them because that is my preferred shot, and I know they will deliver. If I wanted something more conventional I'd use a North Fork or Swift, if choosing from currently available bullets.
My favorite shot on moose is one low through the lungs, since there is the possibility of hitting the heart. But there are times where the moose is not perfectly broadside, and moving toward a place I don't want it to go. I am with you on this in that I want tough bullets just in case, specially in bear country. The Partition Gold should be fine, but I have a "load of Barnes reloads" already.
