Beautiful bull canuck4570, I am glad you have joined this forum, it is always good to have another canuck around. There are a great group of guys here with lots of knowledge and lots of hunting stories and tips.
The 165 grain AB is more than adequate for moose. Actually, we don't consider it strictly a deer bullet. It is a fine all-around bullet, loaded by many of the locals for the 300 WSM and 300 WM.
Don't see why you shouldn't have moose in NM. They'd do well in the mountains. Any fish and game clubs wanting to sponsor a capture and transfer? :roll:
