I have never hunted this Outfitter before. They killed one 450 last year. It is NW Minnesota. I have shot 2 Bears in about the same area Both in the 275LB range. Like i said that is just the ammo that I have now. Heard good things about the Barnes 45/70 load. I also can reload all but the 45/70 right now. Really leaning toward the 35 Rem Texan
