You got lucky. I've hit a moose around a dozen times with the revolver and still didn't kill it.
The "four hits" note isn't really a hard rule. It might be the average for the other weapons, but it comes down to where you hit and the random chance of a critical hit, which is much higher with the rifle than other weapons.
