[QUOTE="Fishdeeper, post: 1673977, member: 110706"] Ho, new member here. Reading this post with interest. My son and I are going on an elk/moose hunt in the Northern Rockies, in BC. Lots of griz around. Outfitter suggested minimum 300 WM with 200 gr loaded. He isnt concerned about what will kill an elk or moose, he is thinking about what will penetrate a charging griz that presents a frontal chest or shoulder but not a heart/lung from the side. He wants bone shattering penetration from chest to arse. I loaded some 190 gr Accubond LRs, and some 200 gr Eld-x and they shoot MOA to 300 yds in my son's T3. With the penetration concerns inside 400 yards discussed earlier, Im not sure the are adequate. I found an old box of Barnes TSX 200gr FB, and they shoot equally well. But supply is limited around here, so If I want a 200gr copper bullet I need to load Barnes 200gr LRX. Good local supply. Appreciate any experience with the LRX terminal performance inside 400 yds. We leave in 45 days. Thx! [/QUOTE]
