Good evening,
So I’m headed bear hunting in May and need some suggestions. I shot a bear at 50yds a couple years ago with Nosler 168 GR ALBRs. I shot him twice in the chest and neither bullet expanded and left pin holes when recovered which thankfully was only a few yards away. I really like the accuracy from these bullets but am looking for something that behaves better. I’ve thought of the 160 GR accubond and the 175 GR partition. I really want to develop a load that is good from antelope to elk out to 400+ yds. I’ve never taken game past 250, but hey, I’m looking for the dream bullet right? Thanks in advance.
