In Sweden over the years most of our soft skinned Moose have been shot from stands with 6,5x55. I have mostly been hunting Moose with specialist Moose dogs, thats a movable hunt and you don´t know how the situation will be when you are going to take the shot. Branches, trees and most often not perfect side shots. So I have preferred to use over the years 358 NM, 9,3x62, 9,3x74R. I have felt more comfortable with that extra. Could be a psychological question? One Fallow deer I shot dead in the chest last week with my 9,3x74R, I shot it on 50 meters. Afterwards I noticed that I had shot off a 10 mm branch 2 meters in front of me. Probably just luck that the bullet anyway did go straight for 48 meters.
Afterwards I thought of what had happend if I got a smaller caliber. It´s overkill for a Fallow, but good if something happens. //Staffan
