Moose with my muzzy?

I believe Hershey killed her WA Bull Moose with a smoke pole.

Psh. .... .Hershey is a hack road hunter that got lucky over a pile of apples.....

I’m sure that setup will work just fine with good shot placement.
Here’s a little muzzy encouragement 

Wow that's an impressive bull. I must have missed the story behind that bull

Blsum,
That's my Wa state record muzzleloader bull I killed back in 2013.

I'm surprised that didn't get Hershey fired up, hell she barely takes a road to get to the woods.  She must be getting busy with work, but I'm sure she would provide any information she could.  As for the record moose pic on this thread, if I recall correctly, I think Hershey just missed that record with her moose two or three years ago. 

What say you Hershey???.....

I couldn't last a half day without a pack on her hunts let alone the hunt itself! With fire season already underway I bet she is as busy as ever. Her moose thread was epic. Great animal, had her mom I believe on the hunt....way cool. She is a rockstar,  that is for sure.

Congrats that's an awesome bull. I sent you a pm.

Great luck on the tag!

I have to ask FFFF (4F) ? that is a pan powder and very fine grained for a rifle, I would think it burns way too fast.  If it was me with that tag I would shoot 80gr fff t7/vol and a 600gr conical.  For what you posted I would use the FFF (3f) 100gr/vol and the 290gr bullet or the heaviest bullet you can shoot accurately and then figure on about 1200 ish energy just incase the shot isn't perfect.

[steeleywhopper]

I’d do it in a heartbeat. Moose are big but they don’t like bullets very well. A 290 grain Barnes would be in my gun on a moose hunt.

I'd go with your elk setup.  In my limited experience (1 moose), they die easier than elk.  I shot my moose with 150gr .30-06, as that particular rifle didn't like any heavier bullets; two through the ribs was one more than necessary, and he tipped over within 50 yards of the first shot.

[Blsum]

Thanks guys.    I just picked up another box of the Barnes bullets and will be shooting as much as I can to make sure everything's dialed in. I took it out the other day to shoot it and realized that somehow the screw for the front sight had loosened up.  Looks like I need to pick up some blue locktite before the next time I take it out.
