If'n it were me I'd load 180's. Moose and Elk both can soak up a lot of punishment. Both are strong willed.

I seen my son in law shoot a Moose and a perfect shot placement as I seen it through Binoculars. I went in one side and out the other. We tracked it almost 200 yards, and it was bleeding profusely. I forgot to mention, keep shooting as long as can make good hits.

He used a 165 Fail Safe. He is one to admire the shot so to speak and did not get a second shot off. It was not even close to being DRT. We could as easily lost the moose as easily as we found it.

I'd probably go with a Partition if I had my druthers. And stalk as close as you can.

Best wishes, Bill
