I do not believe that the 160 grain bullets will cause more meat damage in Caribou, unless it is of "softer" construction than the 130's. It should actually cause less destruction. I would personally load a good controlled expansion 140-150 grain bullet and use on both. I have killed caribou with 5.56 SS109 62 gr FMJ that basically punched a small hole right through them. Not ideal, but caribou are usually in terrain where they can be found if they dont drop on the spot. My point is, go with a deep penetrating bullet that will work on moose, and it will do the job on bou. It may not be the ideal caribou load, but should do the job.
