Great rifle and bull.
Thanks! Really is a fine rifle. Dispatched the Bull instantly with a quick 2nd shot.
300gr Accubond load
No 1 shot DRT kill = inadequate.
I was involved in a range accident once where a moose wandered onto the range behind some veh targets and caught a APFSDS 25mm round. You should look into it as the next logical step in pursuing 1 shot DRT kill. It didn't move a step.
Now that's a round.
Indeed.
I chose the phrase about not taking a step carefully because the moose definitely moved.

Alright I just actually read the post was simply admiring the rifle and bull. There's some curious thinking.
Interesting, just got back from an unsuccessful moose hunt, saw lots of moose but did not have a limited entry for a big bull, so I was looking for an immature bull [2 x 3 or less], I alternated between a Brno 9.3 x 62 and a Winchester EW 300 win mag stainless depending on weather and location, all of my moose in past years have been taken with either a 300 wm or a 30/06.

Sh*t and I just bought a Winchester new model 70 sporter 338wm for moose to find out it's inadequate
I guess I have another gopher gun...
Nah its probably sufficient for foxes too. Maybe even coyote. Certainly not wolf though.

Keep shooting until the Moose is down? Unsatisfactory. My objective is a 1 shot DRT kill.
In this example it was a quick 2nd shot DRT kill. Could have had a goat rodeo on my hands.
From experience a much greater chance of a 1 shot DRT kill using one of my .40+ calibers.

Well, no. Keep shooting until it's down is right. You just want to only shoot once.
Keep shooting implies more than 1 shot = unsatisfactory.
I dunno. If it drops on the first shot, then you have kept shooting until it's down...
Not according to the dictionary definition of 'keep', see verb 2.
Cause to continue... If its down, the cause is gone.

I think the mindset isn't quite right if the word 'keep' remains in context because the objective is to shoot just once, not to keep shooting until it's dead. Definition 2 states to 'continue'. Yes, one will need to shoot 2 or more times to dispatch his quarry if the first shot didn't do the job but that's remedial work since the first shot didn't have the desired effect. Unsatisfactory because the objective of 1 shot 1 DRT kill didn't happen.

Then don't make a crappy shot, you hit the moose bad and are blaming the cartridge what a joke

Right through the front door of the boiler room is a bad 1st shot? No indication whatsoever that it was hit. The Bull just quickly turned and bolted.
At least its ears should have drooped.
