My Wyoming moose fell down approximately 10 yds. from where he was shot. Total distance was 124 paces. Rifle was a Ruger RSI International in .308 with a 168 gr. bullet. Sorry I don't remember the specifications, it was 30 years ago, but my gun has always liked 165-168 gr. factory ammo.

The caliber of the rifle is not nearly as important as the quality of the shooter. I have always liked compact, short action, lightweight rifles, so the .308 has always been my choice for more than 40+ years.
