Thank you all that replied.

I consider this thread closed now as I have taken all your suggestions and come up with a nice combination that works very well.

I purchased a pack of 150g field tips and re zeroed a 20 yards then 40 yards. All was good.

Took the field points off and tried the Boltcutter 150's again shooting at 20 and 40 yards.

Success. Both the 20 and 40 yard shots were bang on, worst shots were a grouping of 4 with in 2 inches at 40 yards. Moose are big animals I am sure I can place a good shot even if it is only a calf.

Again thank you all for all your assistance on this matter.

Excellent. I can't wait to see pictures of the moose.
Good luck.

Poor choice of words on my behalf. Should have read:

I consider this thread for me closed.

The thread is yours to use in any way you wish.
