Good Day

A recent acquisition of a Marlin 1895 22in barrel in 45/70 has me now looking for an adequate bullet for moose here in BC that weigh in at 400-500Kg. Ranges will be at the longest about 200M.
My handloads for the Rem 405 are 1850fps +/-. This is the load that I would like to use for moose.
Has anyone used this load for moose or any other ungulates in the 500kg size range?
If so I would like to hear back from you with details as to shot conditions IE range, MV if hand-loaded, shot angle etc.
Thanks
