Bolt's are all I shoot, have been for a lot of years. Spent a couple years living in Alaska and the gun I carried for everything was a Rem 660 in 308 20" barrel. Loaded it with 200gr Hornady's. 165 and 180's were more accurate but I figured if needed the 200gr was a better choice for penetration. I figured super accurate was wasted up there, what was needed was hunting accuracy and more important was the bullet. That 660 with 165 and 180's was well under an inch at 100yds and just over 1 1/2" at 100yds with the 200gr bullet. Had it with me on the Portage River fishing and found a bear track the size of a dinner plate. Didn't bother me much with that rifle along. Never had a run in with an animal I needed it on so maybe I was fooling myself but I doubt anything would have done well with a well placed 200gr 30 cal bullet at a reasonable range or even closer. My son has that rifle now, has great handling qualities, important I think.
