What made you decide to use the 225 over the 250 (or heavier) on Brown bear? I would have used the 310 Woodleigh, ha! I always leaned toward the lighter ( but premium) bullets in my 35 WhelenAI, and 338 Magnums out here in Utah and even in South Africa.
I picked up my rifle last week, then found out I was unsuccessful in all my draw applications! Bummer! Hopefully a Landowner Late Season cow elk tag will show up layer on the classifieds...hopefully. Now I just have to find the time to break it in, etc!
