I have been drawn for a Bull Moose tag this year.
This will be my first Moose hunt.
I have a .30-06, and I usually just hunt deer. I have been using the (Federal) Fusion 165 grain bullets (
link to ballistics). I imagine that I would want to use something with more energy behind it for a Moose.
I have read that people suggest a 180 grain bullet. I have heard that some people feel that a 165 grain SPBT will do the trick as well.
I normally hunt deer in the bush. I usually am closer than 100 yards before taking the shot. I'm not sure it this will be the case when hunting a Moose. I'm not comfortable taking a shot over 200 yards (maybe 250 yards if the conditions are good).
I want to make a clean kill, without excessive damage to the meat or prolonged pain for the animal.
What ammunition do you suggest?
.30-06 ammo for Moose?
