Obviously you have a gross misunderstanding of what it takes to actually kill BIG game...a 7x57...really?
(FYI that was sarcasm)

That is a great bull. What that 7x57 did does not surprise me.

Wow - now that's a monster! Great job with a classic cartridge. My back hurts just looking at it - but I see a horse in the background. Surprised FB still has the photo up.

That's a very nice bull!
This was a very good year for trophy moose in the 40 Mile Country! Our party took two big bulls with bows and one with a handgun plus a large grizzly boar.
Good weather certainly helped as we had bulls responding to calls on the 8th.
Any moderate cartridge will do the job on moose if you do your part. A good lung shot and it's over.
Our two archery bulls ran about 25 yards at most.
