Hard Hitting Bullet for Moose???
NWShooter:
Moose are fairly easy to kill. I've been around a bunch shot my Natives. Using old Enfield .303 British's and factory Norma ammo. Would make the "Ethics" crowd here go nuts. If I posted the distances, let alone the fact they were shooting open sights. I guess that's the difference when it's a necessity and not a sport.

That was going to be my suggestion for a solid copper bullet. I'm a huge fan of all the Hammer bullets just because of how well they shoot. What's the max OAL you can use and what's your barrel twist? Their 181gr Hammer Hunter is the same length as a 200gr Accubond though so they're really long bullets which can be an issue in some guns. That's why the 199gr Sledge Hammer might be better since they've got a much shorter nose profile. They have a lower BC, but it's not enough that I'd worry about it inside of 600 yards. I've shot the 275gr Sledge Hammers to 600 yards out of my 375 Ruger with a muzzle velocity of around 2675 fps with great results.
For lead core bullets I usually go for the Accubonds, but if they're not working for you maybe the Swift Scirocco is worth looking at. I think 180 is the heaviest they offer in that though.

I have had great luck with the 180gr swift sciroccos out of my 300 RUM. I shot them before they had a bonded version and now I like the bondeds even better! Also had great luck with A-frames and Nosler Partions out of a 338 WM.

as big as moose are they are about the weakest animal I have ever hunted or been on. They are done once hit
