Probably have better results with a 180.

Slow death is typical with moose. I once shot a small bull twice with a 375Mag. Both perfect lung shots broadside. He just stood there with no reaction to the hits and started to walk off. Another shot downed him. This same experience was repeated on another moose 4yrs later, but I just waited w/o shooting again. It to died slow. The only moose I have killed on the spot was another bull that caught a 35cal Speer 250gr behind the ear at 25yds. Tossed him to the ground. No walking away, no twitching.
