Factory brown bear load for a .338 Win Mag - 08/24/08
My elk hunting buddy Jerry is leaving for Alaska in a few weeks for a brown bear hunt. He is bringing his .338 Win Mag. This is a rifle he shoots well and has owned for many years, so we can skip the whole part about how that's too much gun and he'll be scared of it, etc!
He asked me what load to use. He doesn't reload. I was kind of thinking that a 250-gn Partition would be hard to beat? Or perhaps a TSX... 225 grains maybe?
I have no idea though, those are just WAG's. I'll step out of this thread now and once it gets some answers, I'll forward him a link to the thread.
Thanks!!
