Congrats, you have a nice trophy and a lot of great eating.  Once again you have proven that it is shot placement and bullet construction that kills not having the latest super duper magnum.  Enjoy

Outstanding! Curious, how far into the moose did the bullet penetrate?

The bullet went at least through his liver after hitting high lungs...didn't follow up after the liver, but that's a good 3 to 3.5 feet of moose.  With the high impact, I think I cought a bit of neck/spine as well.  Amazing that it made it all that way to the liver and beyond...    DL
