[QUOTE="doverpack12, post: 1233101, member: 57848"] Boman My friend has a 30-378 and he is shooting 180 nosler e tips out of it. We both shot bears with it this spring. His was a big boar broadside at about 30 feet. Shot it twice once from each side just because it was close and didn't really run after the first shot because it was coming in to an elk calf call. Excellent performance with little meat damage even though he was in the shoulder a little. Mine I shot at 80 yards head down straight on. Impact was just outside the neck 1 or 2 ribs back from the front of the ribcage. Penetrated full body including hip ball joint and full hind quarter then got stuck under the hide outside the back of the hindquarter. He was ecstatic we finally caught a bullet from that rifle and it was a picture perfect mushroom. The shot actually flipped the bear up and over backwards. Never took a step or flinched after hitting the ground once flipped over. I have a picture of the bullet I can post when I'm not on my phone. Just a good average size Montana bear. I realize you are asking about Barnes LRX but I think results will be similar. He isn't pushing it hard either probably 3100 fps. Shoots well to 1000 [/QUOTE]
