Tom---I tested them in both both wet phone books & dry phone books. Wet books gave a perfect mushroom @ 180 grains size of a quarter. Dry phone books gave a 170 grains and the bullet looked like everything above the interlock was gone. Size was .375 On the bear she was facing me & at a quartering angle @ 100 yards. Bullet when in just inside the left shoulder & exited just behind the right shoulder. Exit hole was about the size of a half dollar. FYI--I booked another grizzly hunt in 2020 with Jake Jefferson. I'm planning on using the same load. Bob

Photo of the bear is in the Alaska section.
