I took the .338WM RU77 caribou hunting, with 250 gr Horn. RN reloads that go MOA. It scared the caribou so badly we never saw even one in 4 days... smile

I'll give 'em another try for moose the last few days of season, back up north.. I hope the moose aren't such scaredy pants.

Actually, I have taken one moose with them, about 13 years ago. Took the top of his brain pan right off, at about 50 yards. When I skinned his top-knot off, the top of the brain pan came with it and the brain fell right out.

I have every confidence they will work at whatever range I can accurately place them, tho I doubt the moose will be over 150 yards if I get one this year. Probably under 100, but 400 is certainly do-able.

I've some Win? 30-06 RN factory loads- 180, I think. They don't feed well ( i.e. hard!, buggering up the nose) in the Rem 770, and have yet to try them out in the 98. They were very accurate at 100 in the 770 tho, even with the nose job.
