Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Griz Defense with Bergers

Seriously? Do you want me to find, scan, and post the pics of moose and bears killed by 223s and FMJs?

As some have said when arguing/choosing bullets for elk or moose hunting with a 243 or whatever, the critical three things are: placement, placement, placement. Anyone who has ever dealt with bears or other dangerous game in situations other than selective shooting (hunting), bullet placement is very often not even close to ideal. Dead bears often have quite a few holes in them; that doesn't necessarily mean they are especially difficult to kill - as long as you can get the first shot in there perfectly.
