I have used my Ruger M77RS 35 Whelen on a couple of moose and finished up one that wasn't aware that the 220 Partition out of a 30-06 had killed him.
I used the 250gr. Speer on two and the 250gr Partition as the uneeded coup de grace shot. This is an insignificant sample size but for me they both worked and I will use them again if the situation presents itself.
I have witnessed several moose taken with the old Hornady 275gr. RNSP out of an old P. O. Ackley barrelled 1903 sporter used by my dad years ago.
As for the Sierra 225, unless they have stiffened them up they would not be my choice for moose. The ones I used back in the late 80's and early 90's were pretty soft at Whelen speeds, everything perished in short order but the bits I recovered from deer, pigs, cow elk, and a nilgai didn't impress me.
Good luck filling your tag.
