Hunted pretty hard this last week for Mountain Caribou in the Yukon. I flew in to a small lake close to the Alpine and everyday went with my kids and scouted the high country. I carried a 325 WSM in a nice light A-Bolt. After a hard trip in hot weather I took a camp day and spent my time cooking to keep my Wife happy. I carried my Win 95 in 405 Win filled with 300 Woodleighs to discipline bears if needed. Just before dinner I went to my spotting hill, and darn if a caribou didn't come down to us. I can now say that the 405 is a pretty good choice on big caribou at 220 yards. The Woodleighs started at 2300fps don't expand much at that range but it didn't seem to matter too much.
