Or even the 215 Berger hybrid since you mentioned wanting to do long range in the future. I have numerous kills near and far with the 215 bergers and the end result is always drt.
This coming from experience killing coyotes,deer,elk,and bears with the bergers.
I shot my moose with interlocks. But would have fully trusted the bergers, had my 375 in my hand when I found my moose.

Good luck with your hunt USMC86!

Only thing I'll personally use Barnes in is my muzzle loader.

Moose are really not all that hard to kill. Easier than elk in my experience. So anything will really work.

You won't have a problem with a Barnes bullet not expanding, not at the velocities of your 300 Ultra. If you're worried about it, drop down to a 165 grain. Talk about shock when you hit your moose. Probably knock him right off his feet instantly.

do you have any experience with close range berger bullets?

I shot a whitetail doe at 50 yards with the 140 berger out of my 6.5x06 at about 3200 fps and the bullet did not expand. I hit the deer in the off side shoulder and watched it limp run 300 plus yards and hop over the fence to private property.

i always see videos of guys killing animals at long range with the bergers which means slower impact velocity. just wondering if bergers to fast dont function?

That was the day i switched to the accubombs

The one I've seen shot kinda just stood there looking dumb.  It took a few steps and just as soon as my hunter was gonna seat em again, he just fell over. Again, out of those folks I know who shot them, inside of a hundred, repeated almost the same thing. But I've never shot one.
   Been a few times in my packing days I sure would have though.  Rocks and sticks and dried up old horse turds just don't cut it.

Lol, oh God. Having owned, loaded, and shot several 300 and 338 rums,, I've never seen either chambering knock something off its feet, even blacktail bucks... deer don't die by " knockdown power"... they die by boolits either causing severe hemorrhaging, or shutting the power off to legs and or brain, ie; spine or brain shots...

96 gr RL 25 180 sirocco for 3460 fps average

     I will second that.

My claim to fame and best hunt to date that I got to spend with my dad

i have killed an elk and a bear inside 100 yards with them. Bear was a bang flop. Elk I hit in the brisket and then spined on a follow up. The brisket shot blew out the brisket and I could actually see the heart beating when I walked up to it. Bear was a pin hole going in and about a 2-3 inch exit. Shot through shoulders. The elk wasn't a great showing. But it was running 
I've seen performance on close shots from complete devastation with heavy bone impacts to 1 inch wound channel pass through through rib cage.
