9.3x62 bullet choice for Moose

Anything slightly heavier that won't break up will knock over a moose
 
This! My hunting crew and I have knocked down a mountain of moose over the years with .308s, .30-06s and 7mm Rem Mags and none ran further than 30 yards. I killed my 52 inch bull with my .308 and he didn't get that far. It's what I'll be hunting moose with again this fall.
For what it's worth, my warthog ran farther to a perfect shot than any of our mooses!

Your comment comports well with Ron Spomer’s observation that a moose will take a shot without much reaction then amble for 10-20 yards and collapse. It didn’t matter whether Ron was using a 6.5 Creedmore or 338 Magnum, although he does suggest that the 338 is the optimal moose cartridge.
My godfather only used his 30/30 on moose and killed a pile of them over the years. Shots were close - under 50 yards in the Northern Ontario muskeg.
Anything that opens up but stays together like a Nosler Partition should work well.

I read an older thread that mentioned you having some 9.3x64 brass. Do you still have some? I am looking for 100 pcs, maybe 200.
