8mm Mauser - which Nosler bullet for moose?

[Last Spike]

I'll be going moose hunting this fall with my new custom LH bolt action in 8mm Mauser. Which of Nosler's bullets should I consider for handloads? I expect most swamp donkey encounters to be 150 yards or less.

Thanks!

I would go with the 200 gr PT or AB, which ever one shoots the best in your rifle.

I'll reccommend the AccuBond also. I use 180gr in my 300WM for my moose bullet and 140gr in my 270WSM.

I highly recommend the 200 grain Partition for moose hunting.For the distance you will be shooting and the velocity of your rifle it would be a much better choice.I shot these exact bullets out of my 325 WSM and was very impressed with thme and I was exceeding their recommended velocity for expansion.Good luck and good shooting.Man I miss the taste of moose steaks.

Just guessing at minimum impact speed for which either (AB or PT) would open up would be 1800 fps, right?
