One doesn't need to use every weight in every caliber to get some understanding of what works and is necessary. Perhaps the 200 would be suited, if much more than necessary on grizzlies, in an UltraMag or other very large case. I don't think anyone has suggested that it won't work in the Win Mag either. If you've used the likes of even a 180 in nothing more than a 30-06, you can easily understand that you are over-thinking and over-solving the problem in applying the very long 200 to bears which aren't generally huge. BTW, I didn't notice whether you had used the 200 TTSX or not either. I'm assuming not as I don't think it has been available for very long. Speed is never a bad thing with monos which is part of what favors lighter bullets IMO.


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
