Hello all,
I just got picked for a moose permit and am going through my firearms that would be appropriate for hunting moose. The shots will be within 100yrds. Basically it was my M1 Garand (legal where I will be hunting) and my shotgun.
I have found no information on hunting moose with a shotgun so assume this is because it is not done, but I will ask anyways. It has a fully rifled barrel, scope and is 3" accurate out to 100 yrds with Winchester 400 gr. Platinum Silvertip sabots.
My Garand only shoots 150 gr bullets well. The will shoot inside 3" at 100yrds. The wildlife management agency that issued my permit recommended 150 gr. bullets as a minimum. I have founds bonded bullets in that weight for the Garand.
So would you recommend either of these, or do I need to acquire a new firearm?
Thanks.
