I always used the old standby 4064 under plain C&C 250s in my Whelen, roundnoses most of the time at that. I always had great performance on everything from little black bears up to moose and grizzlies.

I’m going back to Alaska to try to scratch a big bull moose off my bucket list next September and drug out the old Whelen over the weekend. I may have to try out one of the newer combos and maybe even a pointed bullet since I’m low on 4064. Or not, who knows. Either way I know from experience that a 250 at 2500 will do the deed when called upon.
