Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 7mm-08 for moose?

The bullet second from right started out as a 160 grain Failsafe in my Model Seven 7mm-08 years ago. It was one of two that caught a nice bull one winter as he strode up the shoulder of a hill. The distance was closer to 300 yards than 200 by my estimation on that day. The other bullet whizzed through the lung-lattice broadside. This one entered the heavy shoulder muscles and stopped against the heavy spine bones.

'More' is never a bad idea if distances are stretched on animals that are well put together. That, or just keep your shots in the lungs and just about anything works.
