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.
