180gr accubond for moose

[C.J]

just wondering if the 180gr accubonds will hold together well on moose shooting a .300 win mag load is around 2950 fps

NO problem :wink:

And then to think , forty fifty years ago many moose fell every year to the 303 B and the one grade only 180 bullet .

They are still not wearing safety vests, just know were to put the pill.

Be careful you're satisfied with the answers to this question.  I know of 2 hunters, one personally, who lost moose in N. Ontario last year.  Both were shot with .300Win. Mags. using 180gr. spire point bullets (I don't know the maker).  Both shots were 100yds., give or take a few yards, and both were lung shots, judging by the clearness of the blood.  It was late afternoon in both cases and both animals made it to the bush and were not found.  They couldn't be tracked for long as darkness set in.  I'm sure both died, but what a tragic loss.  Maybe the bullets didn't expand or it wasn't a solid hit I don't know, but do be sure of your bullet.  Best wishes.

Or maybe the hunters needed to go back at first light the next day and pick up the trail.  Animals don't always go down at the shot, that's not necessarily a bullet failure.

Indeed, they all react differently. Same caliber, same bullet, same point of impact, one could drop like a rock while another runs for a mile.
