Photos are of two different bullets and different alloys. Not finished testing but ran out of milk jugs . More tests to follow.

Placement trumps everything else....which groups the best?

They are all accurate. About 1 1/2” groups at 50 yds. Open sights, 70 year old eyes.

Sharpen your skinning knife! We, here in the deep south envy your moose hunting opportunity.

Murf205, you are right, we live in a hunters paradise. I can literally walk out my back door and hunt moose, bear and both mule and whitetail deer and it’s a short drive to sheep, goats and Cariboo. Sadly, development and climate change are causing stress on our game populations. I envy the guys that get to hunt pigs and turkeys.

Make mine the 6-jugger. Might even decrease the amount of pure in your WW, or even eliminate it entirely. WW at 12 BHN should still expand, might likely group better, and poke a little deeper.

Yep, mine too! I shot a mule buck with the 245 grain boolit cast of COWW +2% tin last year. He staggered 3 steps sideways and went down for good. Double lung shot , only hit one rib. Lungs were devastated.
