Funny, I bet I have asked more moose than everybody else on this thread combined... and then asked more than that again... but what do I know? I started shooting moose with a 22lr in the mid '60s. And I listened to my father and believed a Speer was as good as any other bullet for decades. And I have also shot them with Sierras, Noslers, Hornadays, hard-cast, and Brenneke...

For the last number of years I have been using a plain old 30-06 with 165gr TTSX.

And I have used .22, .243, .270, 7mm, 308, 319, 35, and 375 bullets in them.

And hunters I guided added .338 and .416 to the calibers and Bitterroots, A-Frames to the makers.

And I have butchered many literal tons of them and observed the differences in meat loss...

So, go ahead with your wise-cracks, but realize your finger-pointing is working in two directions.
