Hunting Bullets for moose?

Why not? said:
I have put more moose in the freezer than I can remember, and seen many more taken, with everything from 6.5X55 to 375 H&H. Almost all of them were shot with plain vanilla cup and core bullets, or Nosler Partitions. Both worked equally well.

Ironically the only moose I had to shoot repeatedly was using 250 gr Barnes X .375 bullets. Three shots, all in the lungs at less than 200 yd. That was enough for me, never used them again.

ps : remind me to post some great pics of this hunt ... a shame i forgot to follow up on this wonderful days of hunt.
 
I've always liked the fact that a Partition will open up at whatever range it hits at and retains enough weight to work properly with a higher velocity hit at closer ranges. It may not be a 500yd accuracy bullet, but, I don't try to shoot that far. It may well be that I don't have to spend as much as I do on bullets.
But, I shoot higher velocity guns for the most part. I think, for me, that I should use the "premium" type of bullet for that application. And yet if I am out with the "little slower" guns, it still pays off if I happen to run into something I had not been counting on seeing, I know it will work for me.
