Am curious as to what velos you were getting with that load. in 480, I've been playing with A2400 from 16-18 grs. Long seated. Am always interested in testimonies that come from over a gut pile !
I haven't chrono'd this load. Figure its in the 1000fps range but I'm not certain. Shot good there so l went with it.

Next week I'm going to go back in to help a buddy on his moose hunt. Hopefully he gets one early on so we have time to get it cut up. Takes me a while to cut up that much meat!

Buddy shot a 3x1 on the day after opening. It was plenty big for the two of us to pack out from where he shot it. About 2 miles back and it took us two long days to get it to the truck.
Chrono'd my load with the 385's, they clocked in at 1245fps

Another moose ! Congrats and YUM ! I got that bullet to same velo in my Ruger 480. The Ruger didn't mind, I didn't like that recoil level. I backed off on the A2400.

My only moose was broadside at twenty yards and soaked up two rounds of Federal cast core 300gr 44mag without even noticing it had two big holes through it's lungs. It barely sped up, walking 130 more yards before bedding

They are a very impressive animal. And certainly fill the freezer.

Chrono'd my load with the 385's, they clocked in at 1245fps Excellent! Pan Size as I call em! I was able to get a friend of mine onto his first moose on Sept 1, 30incher... Pan Size! He was like a 65 year old kid at Christmas. It was great. We saw a couple other bulls out of our camp. 2 stalks, no more moose. Saw one griz, no shot at it. They were all rifle hunters. I was along as the meat packer... well, me and my 02 Yamaha Grizzly and the meat wagon!
