Just to give an idea, the mushroomed slug I recovered from my moose. 3' of penetration which included a full paunch,AKA 150 lb sack of wet mulched wood. Cast at 30:1,540 grains. L to R,as cast, patched, and moosekiller. You REALLY do not need fast or hard to penetrate and blow a moose out of his sneakers. M.V. is chronographed @ 1400.

I took this one in October with my 1895 in 45-70 using the Nosler 300gr Partition. It was more than enough.

The Hornady 325gr LeverRevolutions will do the job just fine. If you feel the need to run sonething stronger, give the 420gr Garrett Hammerheads a try. If I did my own reloading then i'd probably run the 300gr NP's as I am a big fan of that particular bullet.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

FWIW: The 405 Remington is MUCH tougher than either the 350 Hornady or the 400 Speer, which are both VERY soft. They work OK if kept at 1500 to 1800 fps, but that Remington can be pushed to 2000 without problems. And yes, I also use a 465gr hardcast in my 22" Marlin at 1900 fps! It'll stop a freight train! Bob www.bigbores.ca I have heard that "The 405 Remington is MUCH tougher than either the 350 Hornady or the 400 Speer" and it is most likely true.... but the 400g Speer did a number on my Bison at 85yrds and My sons Managment elk at about the same distance... I'm guessen the moose will not know the diff. The 400g Speer was moving at about 1900ft/sec out of my XLR. Maybe nextime I will try the Remington 405s T

After cleaning about 30 roadkill moose I have decided the best place to shoot a moose is right beside the road.I cleaned about 30 roadkills for myself and friends and its not always fun.Roadkills took the fun out of shooting them.I have have had to fend off bears,other people and weather.,Draging them them with a bronco II with a ship rope up a 300 foot hill at midnight in the rain and salvage ones hit by 18 wheelers.Take lots of very sharp knives and about 3 or 4 friends its no fun to do by yourself.In one week I did three and was worn out for a week.Its awesome meat.They make very good burger so save every red scrap.The ribs are awesome too!!!
