Seems as the the one shot kill rarely happens, I read other forums and talk to friends that hunt. Is it the caliber rifle they are using that cant get the job done in one shot? I know distance can kill bullet speed a bit but not at the range most shots are taken. If I were to plan a hunt it will either be for elk or moose here in WA. What I don't want is a rifle used only to hunt, more of a dual purpose rifle. A properly built rifle can and does allow for some recoil reduction.
I plan to use another MDT Chassis and a custom action in .338 Lapua which may get a can on it since barrel length will be at 20" or slightly less. WA moose are smaller than the big boys way up north but none the less not small. I shoot .300 Win Mag now and people acted like I would be sore afterwards...nope.
