Use a true premium bullet in the 180gr range and there will be absolutely no problem getting full penetration at any angle... Nosler Partitions do not qualify as true premiums... NP were premium bullets wayyy before the ammo marketing depts had ANY idea what a premium bullet was!!!

I guess I was lucky to escape with my life when using an inadequate .300 Magnum and non-premium 200 gr. Nosler Partition bullets...whew! He must have had a heart attack when he heard the noise, I guess. Oh and you did it with a blue rifle. I thot stainless was a REQUIREMENT. i'm stunned.

Nice bear!! Personally I consider the Nosler partition a premium bullet and, when considering performance on all game, still one of the best of the best. This bear was one of the largest bodied bruins that any of my clients have taken in thirty years. A single 200 gr Nosler Partition from the hunters 300 mag. stopped it within 30 yards. It is hanging on a twelve foot ladder

[quote=MarineHawk][quote=moosemike][quote=Royce]Anybody else remember this O'Connor account? He encountered a grizzly while hunting for another species, and sat down and put the crosshairs of his 270 on the bear's shoulder. He wrote something like "If I had pressed the trigger, that wicked little 130 grain Speer would have smashed it's shoulder..." but he didn't shoot. Currently, a 130 Speer isn't considered by most to be a decent bullet for under nourished deer."
O'Conner was an ass. Anyone who would deliberately ass shoot an animal to slow it down enough so that he could get up on it to finish it does not have my respect. I learned more on my first and solo sheep hunt than I did from his subsequently purchased " Sheep and Sheep Hunting"
