If you want to use lighter bullets its probably a good idea to get a tougher bullet, but at the ranges moose are typically shot I feel that the flatter trajectory is unneeded and the added velocity is of little value. In my experience If you are ok using heavyer bullets a mechanically locked bullet is sufficient at non magnum velocities.

x2 - cor-lokt's have been a surprise bullet on numerous game as is the winchester power point and hornady interlocks ... you don't need a premium bullet under an impact of 2900fps ... that said, the nosler partition is mr. reliable at any speed
