[QUOTE="quandary, post: 3036337, member: 124624"] My current plan is to develop a load for the Barnes LRX 190gr or 200gr and compare to the accuracy of the 200gr Terminal Ascent and go from there. Although I have had no accuracy issues with the TA. [USER=120504]@fordy[/USER] keep in mind that the picture I posted is 200gr TAs recovered from the off side hide of a Moose shot at 530 yards and 560 yards. At that point the bullet was approximately going 1950/fs with 1725 ft-lbs of energy and performed very well. I would suspect that the shot opportunity at a Grizzly would be no more than 300 yards. The TA would be doing 2,300/fs with 2,400 ft-lbs of energy. 23% more velocity and 40% more energy. I would suspect at that range the TA would mushroom back to the copper shank. The bullets in the picture are the only TAs I have recovered. The combination of the bonded front and mono back end of the TA coupled with the high BC make it a rather good bullet in my view.
