What is the best big game hunting bullet I can use ?

I don't re-load so it needs to be factory ammo. What is the best big game hunting bullet I can use in my 308 win. I will be using it on big Canadian whitetails and moose. I just want one bullet for both. What do you recommend ?|||Federal Premium "power-shok" 180 gr soft point. My friend shot a big Saskatchewan whitetail (167 non-typ and weighed 327 lbs) with these shells. Left an exit hole the size of your fist in him. He also shoots moose and elk with it. Drops em stone dead like that!|||Something with the Barnes tsx in 165 grain. Barnes makes there own ammo as well as sell to others such as federal,corbon. Hornady superformance with the GMX bullet would work as well. The nosler E tip would work as well. With the solid bullets like the tsx and GMX you won't probably find much in 180 grain loadings as they are longer than lead core bullets of the same weight and will eat up to much case capacity in a 308, stick with the 165's. If I was hunting moose with my 308 I would use the 200 grain accu-bond from corbon. 2550 fps out of a 22" barrel. That would be a great moose round, but I would be confident one of the above would take both animals.|||Hornady superformance gmx 150gr as long as it's not being fed thru anything other than a bolt action rifle. but you could check out nosler custom, barnes. federal vital shok tsx it uses the barnes tsx bulltet in 165gr.you don't need to use anything as heavy as 180gr on moose unless your shooting them in the shoulder. make a proper shot an you can use smaller bullet. partition is old skool. the barnes tsx solid copper or Hornady gmx transfer more energy inside the animal.|||Here's your problem. A large whitetail will weigh up to a couple hundred pounds while a large moose will weigh over 1500 pounds. Now, if you shoot either in the head with a .22/250 you'll kill 'em both. But if you were to shoot either in the chest hoping for a lung/heart shot, it would be not so good. So you are looking for accuracy and penetration. Accuracy is probably just a little more important. I'd go with the 180 grain but the 165 gr would also be a good choice. What you should do is buy a box of each and check for accuracy. Some guns will shoot one load better than the other. Ideally you would handload and that way you could do your own experimenting.|||Part of the answer is that with one bullet for both Moose and Deer you should be using a 180 grain loading. While heavy for Deer, it is needed vs 150 gr bullet's on the much bigger Moose.





One of the best tried and true Big Game bullets in .30 caliber is the Nosler Partition. You will not go wrong with a 180 grain Nosler Partition in .308 Winchester for these two game animals.





Another great Big Game load / bullet is the Swift A-Frame.|||I make that choice partly depending on which is most consistent and accurate out of my rifle. I've shot lots of elk with Nosler partitions in either 165 or 180gr. Very consistent and dependable.


Lately I've started using Barnes tsx 165gr which is the most accurate out of my new rifle (30-06). Good terminal performance.





I've always had the best luck with Federal factory ammo.|||Consider the Nosler Partition offered this way.

But you mentioned moose, so i would reccomend a .338 win mag, .300 Weatherby, .300 Remington ultra mag, or .300 super weatherby are all good hard hitting, flat shooting calibers. I would also reccomend a good solid bullet, scirocco or A-frame.
