i used to help a guide friend pull out downed moose. he had a sport that was shooting a 375 h.h mag. found a 1000lb. 65in. bull standing broadside 100 yrs. in a clearcut. fired 1st. shot the moose starting running. he fired 2 more times. the moose disappeared in the woodbine. my friend was upsest telling the hunter that was the biggest bull of the season and couldn't believe he missed. they walked out to where the moose was standing. there where quarts of blood everywhere along his path coming out both sides if him. nearly a quarter mile away in a swamp they found his moose. he hit him 3 times in a 3in. group destroying the heart liver and lungs! you could put your fist thru his chest! he was dead w/ the 1st. shot. goes to show you even with the biggest gun with the best placed shot, they're a big animal with incredible strength and stamina! my buddy had to apologize to the hunter.

.270 with an Accubond is money.
