That sounds about right. A few years ago my brother and I scored a double on moose. We were both shooting and we could hear the bullets hitting them. They just stood there and absorbed the shots. Mine had two shots through the boiler room spaced about 3 inches apart, but he finally fell when I spined him. I was shooting a 7mm Mag with a 175 Nosler Partition.

They can take a lot of lead and seem unfazed.
