I'm going on a mountain goat / brown bear hunt. I'm either taking a 300 rum or a prc
My concern is that a good goat bullet is not enough for a bear. And that a good bear bullet will just pinhole a goat .
I cant be the only one hunting multiple species with 1 rifle. Does anyone have suggestions for bullet type and grain? That has a solid base but will still mushroom on a smaller animal?
I also thought about my 28 nosler with 175 eldx for goat Barnes makes a 175 trippleshock could switch to bear. Swapping bullets based on animal being hunted is an option. But what a pain.
Might be open to another caliber. Bit it's a 12 day backpack hunt. I cant be carrying my big boomers that much.
Advice is appreciated.
