Has anyone used 167grn Lapua Scenars on Moose?

[Bulldog]

I've got a ton of these rounds loaded in 308win for a target gun I no longer have. Any thoughts on this bullet for moose? I'm worried its a little lightly constructed.

thanks

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think scenars are designed for hunting at all. Target bullet design. That's not saying if you drove one through a moose it wouldn't put it down.

Target bullet's are ment just for that,target's.
Thin jacket's = little penetration.

Guys have been having good luck with 155gr scenars on big game, but the 155 is a longer bullet with a deeper void at the front end.

For an interesting read with lots of pics, check this thread. (watch for the spider bull too)

Do a search on Sierra match kings for similar results.

Excellent kills are possible, even probable, but consistency isn't there.

There are much better choices for any big game animal much less moose. IMO you should save them for a future acquisition, or put them up on the EE.
