Going old school for moose this year. Dragged out my marlin 45-70. That puppy fires a 405 grain bullet large and slow. Just reloaded a bunch. Kicks like a mac truck. I have a Black and blue shoulder. That caliber is 153 years old but still widely in use. Effective range max 150 yards then drops like the titanic. However and thing it hits is immediately hamburger. Look it up. Lever action
