Lucky enough to draw a tag in Idaho this year.

I'm currently shooting Federal Premium 180gr Trophy Bonded Tip.

Due to a scope adjustment I gotta re-site in anyway...is there a better bullet I should be looking to use a with a OIL tag in my pocket?

Gun is a Tikka, it has shot every ammo I've ever tried (4-5 kinds) accurately so I think I can explore some options if there are better ones out there than what I'm shooting now.

Nothing wrong with that combo of caliber and bullet. Stay within reasonable range and you will have no problem. I am a Hornady fan but have seen good performance from those Federals on elk. Good luck on the hunt!

By the the way good luck on the hunt!
Hunting moose is a party but can be stressful.
Just stay positive and have a good time and you'll never forget it.
