So my buddy shot a moose monday night and I pulled this slug out of the offside just under the hide. Factory load, 130 yard shot, hit near the last rib and stopped just in front of the hind leg off side. Did not hit bone. Not a great shot but his second anchored the bull in his tracks with a neck shot. I did not recover that bullet. Just wanted to show you all. Have not had a chance to weigh it yet but will this weekend.
Is this a normal mushroom for this bullet? Can I expect similar performance out of a .277 150 gr. BT?
What are your thoughts on these bullets for elk/moose? Tough enough? Obviously worked but what if he hit ribs? Shoulder? Would they get the job done?
