"I wonder how people ever shot game with those crappy cup-n-core bullets"
Obviously, I didn't make my point. I wasn't discounting the viability of using cup and core bullets, I was stating my rather low opinion of the Winchester specifically. The Winchester common soft point is several steps below Remington's Corelokt in several areas including retained weight and penetration IMHO. Claiming a bullet is suitable for XYZ simply based on weight is illogical. Of course the parent company will recommend their product w/o reservation because it will work at least some of the time.
In addition: the cost of 2 or 3 boxes of factory ammo loaded with Nosler Partitions is fairly insignificant compared to the other costs involved in a moose hunt(unless there's a moose in your back yard).
