Since I only hunt in Alaska with a 30-06 or .338 Winny any Barnes TTSX or LRX bullet or Nosler Partition will work. They work so well I really have no need to look further. I am also venturing into the peep sighted lever action guns, so have laid in a a good supply of Kodiak Super Bonded bullets in .348 and 45-70 caliber. The .356 Win. is a work in progress as I am trying to come up with my version of the perfect .356 Win. load for Alaska. I am modifying 225 grain Partitions and Woodleigh bullets and have a bunch of 220 grain FN Speers and 200 grain Shock Hammer bullets.
My wife who is a small 72 year old lady will be toting the Big Bore .356 Win. so the 200 grain Shock Hammer will be more recoil friendly for her, if there is such a thing. Eventually I will try some of each in some water jugs and magazines and see what looks best for moose and big bears up close if needed.
