As a matter of fact, I killed my last moose with a 120-grain Ballistic Tip out of a .280 Ackley (3,400 fps MV). The range was precisely 91 yards, he ran out of the bush and stood in the middle of a farm two-track. I shot him exactly under the chin and the bullet removed a vertabrae (C-2 or C-3) on the way out. As far as I know, the Ballistic Tip is still in low orbit of the earth.
Perfect performance; bang-flop kill and maybe a half-pound of lost neck meat.
No, my choice for mooses would not necessarily be the 120-Ballistic, but I was hunting whitetail and they happened to be in the rifle. [bleep] happens.
I've killed more than three hundred head of big game with Ballistics and Hornady Interlockeds and I have no complaints. You'll get no apologies from me.
