[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1877877, member: 75451"] Quote: I am fairly certain I will never test even one of those options on a bear but could a 200 grain 338 going 2,600-2,700 fps be effective on Brown Bear? If so, to what range? You may be OK with a mono with those weights. However, with most cup and core type bullets, your bullet weight loss would severely hinder penetration.....especially “if” heavy bone where encountered! In a hunting situation, I think that “most” guides prefer their clients shoot inside of 100 yards, so you should have adequate velocities! If, it’s a “stopping” situation.....your velocity will be in the 2600-2700 FPS range! 😉 memtb [/QUOTE]
