[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 209893, member: 2011"] given that you currently have a 300 WSM I'll constrain my comments to bullets and not distance they should/could be used. Sneak down to the Bear forum and look at the large brown bear. It was taken w/a lung shot @ 250 yds, broadside w/a 180 gr Accubond launched right at 3000 FPS. Bullet made penetration to just bruise the hide on the far side. The bear went about 40 yds in a non threatening direction.:) I have different preferences as far as caliber, weight and ballistics go but the Accubond would be a decent choice. I'd also suggest you develop 1st shot capability to some distance at which you have 100% confidence with the load you select then limit your shots to that distance. FPE may also be a consideration.
