I have seen a 165 trophy bonded bear claw out of an o6 not make 2 holes on a nice black bear so large frontal area and 06 velocity made for a very.... hard blood trail. 165 interbond out of an 06 on a close range elk pretty soft. Opened well with poor penetration. So like they said 180 partition or my choice 168 ttsx. Two holes is a pretty big deal on the long haired fat bears.
