Alaska Grizzly Bullet Choice

Neither one will be a wrong choice. Pick which one shoots better in your gun and you'll be just fine.

Yep

Any bear knows you're shooting a Burger bullet... without even firing a shot, he might laugh himself to death.

That would be any "self-respecting" bear! memtb

Hammer hunters seem to be working well on my buffalo,most and elk. They stopped us hunting grizz in Canada but black definitely don't get up after a smack with my .375 Canadian

Gday mikar

Ok you've got me what's the 375 Canadian
& what will it push a 270/280 pill around

Sorry to op for derail but please accept my apology in advance as I have a disease that can only be fixed with the 375

Cheers

I think it's a hair bigger than a 375 Australian down under!

Thanks for the laughs

Having used the TBBC when made by Speer in 30, 33 & 37, for my purpose were a unique design and terminal performance was similar to the African Grand Slam, I feel these newer tipped bullets will work nicely.
I must say that the 300WM would not be my first choice, but it will work no doubt.
I used a lot of 200g Accubonds in my 300WM's (5 rifles) and 300RUM with excellent results, sure, exits were small, but I know that the bullet expands and the expanded section stays close to the shank and turns everything inside to mush…
Here's a 225g Accubond from a 338WM that went end to end on a 300kg Sambar stag found in the hide.

Cheers.

Both A frame and TBBC ( Terminal Ascent) are great designs. The TA has the BC advantage with the enhancements by Federal. If you want to load them, you could use the NorthFork bullets. Those are available as a component and are virtually the same design as the original TBBC. The A frame are tough to get, but swift did make a run of them last year.
If you run short on time, we have the A frame as loaded ammo for the 300 WM and 300 RUM.

After seeing Accubond performance on big Black Bear I am not a fan. I want to stick to a Terminal Ascent, A-Frame, Partition. 200gr or 220gr Partitions are as hard to find as large rifle magnum primers.

You are spot on. Anyone who would recommend an Accubond for tough, dangerous game has probably never used it on either. They are too soft and lightly constructed for that kind of hunting. Heck, I've had one come apart on a medium sized whitetail buck from a 6.5 CM at 40 yards. Terminal Ascent may be good also, but the A-frame is a proven winner, if your rifle will shoot them.

After using 180gr Accubond in a 300WSM on a stumble on Black Bear hunting Moose in Newfoundland that is not a mistake I will make again.

Just checked out the NorthFork bullet site, interesting design! Fortunately I have 4/5 boxes of Federal TAs. I think I will also load up some Hammer 196gr HHs and Barnes 200gr LRXs to see how they shoot. My 300WM has a Tikka TX3 action so I am limited on OAL.
