[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 1786167, member: 105681"] I think one thing people often overlook when they are bringing up the Scandinavian moose hunters and the 6.5 is the way they used them on the typical moose hunts. They use large dogs to drive them out of the thick or antagonize a bull into fighting allowing very close shots. Most shots are under 100 yds. And studies have shown the average moose took 3 shots from the Swede with their 156 or 160 grain slugs to kill it. They were going around 2500 fps and of the 1700 moose killed in the study the average moose went 135 yards after the first shot until went down. So, yeah it can and has been done. For decades. You just need to ask yourself what type of results you're asking for or expecting. Shoot em in the neck right behind the ear and they won't go far. End of the day we all go back to bullet placement, whether it be a 22 magnum or 460 Weatherby. [/QUOTE]
