Well well moose bears what next.

One really should watch the video and look at the bullet damage before commenting.

Killing A Moose with the 22 ARC: Uneventful, but Informative
I didn’t expect much drama when it came to killing my moose, and it went down as if it had been any other caliber. My shot opportunity came at a bull who was walking broadside through a finger of brush that made for a challenging shot. Quickly scanning ahead of the moose, I was able to find a small clear window that his chest would likely pass through. As he stepped across that narrow opening, I fired a shot into his lungs.

Note the result with his backup shot.

He stated in the article that it’s not a great option for the average hunter, but rather that when things go right it works.

I don’t think anyone disagrees that when everything works it will do the job… but then, so will a .22 rimfire.

I also suspect that recoil is the same for this and the .243, except that with the fast twist required it might be marginally more felt recoil in similar weight guns.

Got his Eskimo merit badge.
