I've got an old book titled "The Grizzly Bear" in which the author hunted grizzlies in the western US and Canada with an Winchester HI Wall 45-100 if I recall correctly. While on an hunt in Idaho he and his partner managed to get ahold of an 30-40 Krag and they ended up taking an grizzly with it. From what I recall it mentioned how impressed they were with the performance of the fast moving 30-40. This was before the advent of the 30-06 and probably Spitzer bullets and I think it's safe to assume that they were using heavy for caliber 200 or most likely 220gr roundnose bullets which were perfect for the area in the Lochsa they were hunting in.

Anyway just a throwback out of an old book back when the 220gr roundnose ruled the roost for game hunting.
