[QUOTE="bdyal1972, post: 1952332, member: 50039"] From personal experience on Roosevelt's and black bear in coastal Oregon and Washington with a ruger #1 22" barrel and receiver peep sight. 300 hollow points of soft lead at 2450 fps grouped 3" at 200 yards and FLATTENED EVERYTHING they hit. Never recovered one. 405 grain wide meplat solids would destroy a shoulder AT BOTH ENDS of an 900 lb roosevelt. EXCELLENT FOR A TEXAS HOT SHOT ON A CAGEY ROOSEVELT THAT GOT THE DROP ON YOU UP CLOSE... I SETTLED ON THE 300HP AT 2450 AS THE GUN SHOT BETTER THAN I COULD AND ZEROED AT 200 WAS NEVER OUTSIDE A 8" CIRCLE TO 250 YARDS [/QUOTE]
