Early on, I read an article by Jack O. wherein he stated that Canadian moose vere very difficult to kill. Now I personally know a guy who has killed several with a .440 round ball at ranges to about 75 yards using 75gr. of powder. His ball would be in the 2,000fps range, down to 1500 or so at 50 yards. A real powerhouse - not. Keith needed only 2 ball for each
Jack noted in his article he averaged 3.8 shots per moose. Funny that Eleanor needed only one from her 7x57 hmmm.
Yes for my one and only moose, a Norwegian one, I need a single bullet from Erik's 7x64mm.
Another hunter shot it or at it, three times, wounding it with one shot. My shot from furtherer up the hill found its heart. Makes a difference where you hit them.
