[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1228783, member: 86754"] You're stirring me up Steve, ha! 220gr sounds like plenty! I used that old Barnes 250X on my first trip to SA, but later on I used the 200X, both in a Whelen AI, and the 200X did the same thing as the 250! Since I don't hunt big bears up close or far, I like the flatter shooting bullet, even under 300yds. I found that when I load about +1 high at 100 I can "thread it" though the pucker brush/dark timber (where "most of the elk live anyhow!) and I tend to "hold up a bit" at longer range. Thanks for getting right on the design, as I mentioned, I'm in no hurry, but will commit to two boxes (100) when you are done! Jim [/QUOTE]
