[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1538330, member: 99519"] Swamplord....maybe you missed the two hunting shows both looking for inland grizzly..... the first hunters shot a big grizz at basically point blank range and the bear ran away while being blasted by the guide and the other hunter....now they didnt specifically say what caliber they were using...but a bear called to within maybe 20 yards and a poor hit by the Hunter resulted in several shots by the guide and other hunter to secure the bear while running away.... the second hunter on guided trip big grizz at 200 yards....one shot one drt grizz....wanna take a guess what caliber......26 Nosler...142lrab..factory loads... So it seems there are flaws in every situation... I am not advocating everyone grab a 264 caliber and run out for a grizz hunt...but it all comes back once again.....shot placement and animal attitude...and best bullet made for caliber... Obviously the three guys all had made horrible bullet choices(haha) But my experience with the 142lrab....it has a very soft front end...at 200 yards that bullet had to have disintegrated to maybe 60 grains of weight......but that bear went straight down..not even a quiver......
