I am headed to Canada to bear hunt this spring. I will be taking my .338 Win Mag and I am looking for the best combination to ensure that my bear doesn't go far. Preferably it drops in its tracks!
My shot placement is good, but I have been watching footage including excellent shot placement and have discovered that they like to run, and seem to have a hard time expiring!
Any thoughts?
The reloads we have worked through have been a variety: Speer, Nosler Accubond, and Hornady bullets in weights from 200 to 225 grain. I have had great success with these on elk and deer with little to no tracking necessary. I have also had good success with factory Remington Core Locks.
This hunt is a pricey one and I want to bring my bear home, not just have my tag punched on a wounded bear that wasn't recovered.
