Going on a backpack hunt this Aug/Sept and will have dall sheep and moose tag. Interior grizz are around
Have been told by the guide to practice at 500 yards, and that shots are typically between 200-300 yards
Have settled on my .300 win mag, and on Accubonds.
My goal is a sheep, and if we have time left, will then go after moose.
What is the reaction to a 165 grain Accubond?
Obviously a 200 grain A-frame, etc. would be better for shooting a charging grizz, but at what point do you put more emphasis on the intended task (thin skinned game at 200-300 yards) vs. the Oh $hit scenario. I see alot of experienced folks out there with 6.5s and 7mm-08 on their hunts in grizz country, so feel that by having a .300 I am already having a little extra mustard built in for that scenario.
Twist is 1:10, 26 inch barrel.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
