No worries just hit the lungs and heart, game over. I use a 145 gr. Speer SP. in both of my 7mm-08's. Pretty much game over if I do my job.

I have used bigger cartridges, 375H&H, 9.3x62, 30-06 all worked. Some perhaps better then others. Bullet choice is the biggest factor "hard" bullets tend to do less damage and moose tend to suck that up better then slower, more "traditional" bullets that dump all their energy into the moose. In my limited experience.
