After taking a caribou with the 405 Winchester this summer I have decided to take a Lever on this years Bison hunt here in the Yukon. Need to make 2800 ft pounds for legal use and the 348 will hit that. Torture tested some bullets today and the most obvious choice is the 250 Woodleigh. The cup and core 200's look good for caribou and the Hornady FP, maybe for moose but for big stuff a bonded core 250 grain is the way to go. Also it shoots to a similar point of impact as the 200 Silvertip load.

Tested 200 FTX, 200 Horn FN, 200 Silvertip, 250 Woodleigh.

Bonus How to load the 200 FTX without buying a special die or seating stem.
