Don't over think it - C&C 100 grain .243 at 70 yards made my wife's moose DRT. Ok - he walked about 20 yards, then fell over.. I've killed over 20 moose with calibers ranging from that, to .338WM, including a 12 ga. slug. Have seen zero difference....
I'm planning on taking (or attempting) the next one with a .260, 140 gr bullet.
My first one many moons ago was taken with 170 gr. .30-30 cartridge.
It ain't rocket sicience.
Pick your shot, place your bullet.
