Does anyone have any that they reload with? I am wanting to load up 5-8 only as I am heading into grizz country a few days before opening and would rather the 200gr in the tube instead of my little 150gr pet load in my 300WSM.

If anyone has a handfull I can purchase off them or know where I can get a small pack please let me know. Bulletproofsamples.com has them in 15 packs but can't track any down in canada quite yet.

thanks,
Andrew
 
The 200-220 gr bullets will most likely have a substantially different point of impact from the 150's you're using now. Eight rounds likely won't even be enough to get you zeroed, and if you get into a disagreement with a bear, you could run out pretty quick.

As a for-instance, in my 7x57 there's a 14" difference in P.O.I. @ 100yds between 140's and 175's, and in the 9.3x62, I have a 9" difference between 250's and 285's.

If there is an altercation with a bear, the distance will be reduced, and POI will likely play a very minor part in the picture.
Eagleye.
