Re: 300 Win Mag Big Bear Bullet #19415772 Apr 28th a 02:42 PM

T_Inman	Originally Posted by Jim_Knight Anyone ever used a 300 mag to "stop" an aggressive grizzly or even a Brown? If you're still wondering about this: I can't say that I 'stopped' this interior boar but I suspect he was the one who bluffed charged a few days earlier, so he was fairly aggressive. I used plain jane 180 Core-Lokts out of a .300 Win Mag. They worked fine to break his onside shoulder at about 200 yards, and lodge up against the skin on the other side. I don't know the retained weight but it looks like any other retained C&C bullet...~50-60% retention. Maybe they wouldn't have held together as well if the shot was 10 feet? I dunno. I'd take Phil's advice and pretty much nobody else's, including mine.
