Hits harder.
Were you looking for more than that?
Well the OP said he had a .308 already, and it sounded to me like he wanted something for longer range. While his BLR would do fine, he did specify moose as a target.
At longer range the magnum with higher BC bullets would be my pick, even though I'm a heavier bullet at moderate velocity guy at heart.
Generally you're looking at 2/3 the drop at 400 and 25% more energy.
