I'm not arguing about a bullet thru the lungs killing the bear.

Sitka - I agree w/you and so stated in my post.

Sitka, jwall I'm not set in my ways too bad it's just that I have a friend that uses the 175 NP to great success and has a huge selection of expanded bullets that are perfect. In our house,
222 Horn SP
260 NBT
284 TSX
308 NP & SST
30-06 Horn SP
9X57 Horn RN
35 Gibbs NP
358 Norma Swift AF
400 Whelen Woodleigh
458 Northfork
500 S&W Woodleigh

We have used most other bullets in the past but these just seem to work the best for us now.
300 Savage NP


I tend to use more than enough gun
