Alaska big game varies from the relatively small deer, goats to the largest game on the continent brown bears, moose.
In general, hunters should select a larger caliber for the largest game. Cover type should also play a role in cartridge selection. Sheep and goats are almost always hunted in the mountains where long distance visibility is the rule. A smaller, flat-shooting cartridge may be best here.

Moose in the Interior may be shot at intermediate distances. Select your cartridge based on the expected circumstances. A high quality rifle bullet placed into the heart or lungs of a big game animal at approximately to feet per second will expand or "mushroom" and destroy the vital organs. The shape of the bullet has no direct effect on its function, its accuracy, or its ability to kill.

For example, a. In comparison, a round-nosed grain bullet at the same speed will have slowed to feet per second at the same distance, because the pointed bullet can cut through the air with less resistance just like a sleek fighter jet. Under actual field conditions, this will make no difference between a good hit, bad hit, or miss. At distances beyond yards, a pointed bullet will not drop as quickly as a round-nosed bullet.
Most hunters should not shoot big game at distances further than yards. The bullet shape is not as important as the quality of the bullet and how well your rifle will shoot a particular bullet. Some rifles will shoot a pointed bullet more accurately and some will shoot a round-nosed bullet more accurately.
You should try quality bullets of both shapes to find out which weight and shape produces greatest accuracy in your firearm. A bullet must be "tough" enough to penetrate through skin, muscle, and even bone to reach the vital organs. It must also be "soft" enough to expand and disrupt the function of these vital organs.
