las,

If you want to bust moose gut to pieces (lungs too), nothing better than one of the old Federal 250-grain NOS HE loads coming out the barrel at 2,700 fps smile

I still have a few left. I shot a moose "in" the lungs from about 175 yards, and there were pieces of lead all over in the chest cavity. The moose dropped like hit by lightning, too. A couple of days later I saw a huge grizzly walking away from the gut pile, something I wasn't prepared to see, but there was no way that I was going to shoot that grizzly with the same type of ammo. By the time I thought about it, the bear was gone.
