Heyyy. I've shot several scandinavian mooses with my 416 Taylor now, and must say I love that caliber. I have used 340grs. Woodleigh bullets all the time, and have loaded it down to approx. 2300f/s. and have got myself a nice "meat-getter". The last moose I shot (On last monday), was the first animal I've not shot right throught. I hit it a bit angled backworths just behind the ribs, the bullet broke the shoulder on it's way out and the bullet was lying against the skin. 25,5" diameter, and 98% weight left in it. For me, this is perfect!! You should have seen the shock, when the bullet hit!!! It was a rainy day, and the moose was wet. There was a tremenbous cloud of water aroud the whole body on the animal. I belive it was pretty dry after the shot. ![]() Just had to share this with you. | ||

Arild, The 416 Taylor may be overkill on moose, but the they don't run off either. ![]() I am anxiously awaiting my first 416 Taylor. Congratulations on your hunt. | |||

Hey Arild, I guess you have tasted a bit to muuch of that yellow snow. ![]() You know as well as me that EVERYTHING larger than a 6,5x55 Swe is WAY to much ooomph for any moose we will ever encounter. And that Woodleigh's are piece of junk bullet not worthy mentioning for animals as tough as a Norwegian moose. ![]() | |||

Thanks for the post and congrats. PERFECT timing. I just got a 416 Taylor a few weeks ago and I had completely forgotten about this bullet. Will give it a try. | |||

460Wby, That is pretty much my experience with the 340 gr Woodleigh. Excellent bullet if velocities are held below ~ 2800 fps. Took an elk and a couple whitetail deer with them. ASS_CLOWN | |||

Hey Sauerkraut!!(Sauer 148) ![]() The 6,5x55 scan. is for people who really dont handle any rifle over 22LR, but absolutly have to join a moosehunt. ![]() Get yourself a real gun, boy, and stop that moose right in is't track. ![]() | |||

Would you people believe that these two fine gentlemen has a Norwegain forum dedicated to the discussion of the pro's and cons of the 6.5x55.... www.sluttstykke.com and STILL they need to contaminate this forum with their endless 6.5 brawl??? ![]() Skaubj�nn | |||
