I see 5 to 7 big bulls killed every year. To date the fastest kill was with a 7mm08. Shot placement as always means more than caliber. Moose are not a tough animal to begin with. Big slow bullets like the hardcasts I use in my 444 do far less meat damage on average than higher velocity rounds. Of course shot placement plays a role in that too. Had a guy shoot a big bull this year right behind the shoulder with a 340 Weatherby loaded with a Barnes TSX bullet at 30 yards. Ruined one entire side of ribs.

Mainer I worked up some loads for my 358 based on your posts over on the Alaska Outdoor Forums and they are thumpers! Took a big bison with them a few years back and couldnt ask for better bullet performance.
