:yeah:
My brother shot this for over 20 years until he shot the barrel out of his Browning A bolt, then switched to Win model 70 in 300 WinMag.

I bought my a bolt in 1992. Haven't shot it out yet but is extremely accurate with those 160 grain partitions. I use it almost exclusively which is kinda unfortunate cuz I have a lot of long guns but I know when I pull the trigger on her tags get notched
BKMFR:
460 Rowland on 1911 Frame - 200 Gr Underwood. Very deadly and handy!

We have decided that the softer bullets are more efficient killers. usually rolling the bears right where they sand. We've had the hardest time finding the ones with the ABs. They do leave a good blood trail, but usually not for 75-100 yards. I know it's a small sample size, but the CM and 7-08 kills were more impressive than the larger calibers too.

Interesting, did you tend to get pass throughs with the softer bullets, or just one hole and all energy dumped in the animal?

It's been about 50/50. I'm not worried about the resulting blood trail, because these bears have gone down right there!
