Just watched an episode of Modern day Mountain man. The client killed a 9' grizz with a .338 Fed and a 185TTSX. thinkshot was right at 200yds, first shot bear was dead on its feet running, second shot flattened the grizz. The guide was very impressed with hunters shooting, the cartridge, and also was happy with his choice of bullet.
Can you share the name of the specific episode?
Also, for good loads, a 175 Hammer Hunter with Benchmark seems quite good. Just over 2800fps.
The 185 Federal Fusions shoot very well with a mild load of 47.7 TAC at 2.775”. Only 2670, but very accurate.
PRM, For the Hammer load, how much powder for Benchmark did you use and what length of barrel? I'm looking for a 600 yard round for sheep hunting and the cutting edge bullets and possibly the Hammers may have better lower velocity bullet performance.
