[QUOTE="458win, post: 2288150, member: 3423"] Lol Phil S. stole my handle! When I tried setting up an account a few years ago on AR it said it was already taken. Didn’t know by who until a couple years ago. Anyhow the grizz was 60 yrds and Barnes 270gr TSX. I was actually after a caribou when I saw the bear. Much prefer the nosler accubond. The TSX just drive through and don’t do much, better for the meat department. For bears something that expands easier is better. Going in willows after a bear is always interesting and not for the faint of heart. Shot placement is key. Bears are easy to kill if you put the first shot where it needs to go. Screw up the first one then it’s a tumbling, rolling, hauling donkey mess that’s difficult to actually put a round where it needs to go. To answer the OP go with the 300 weatherby. Accubonds are what I prefer. Even a big blackie isn’t very big boned so you want something to expand but hold together. if you see one at 2-300 your still in business. [/QUOTE]
