This is the first of a lot of questions as I talk myself into going on a Peninsula bear hunt in fall 2007. I've been here 13 years and it's abou ttime I do some of the stuff that made me decide to maove here in the first place.
Anyway, I have a .416 rem that I bought 6 years ago. When I got it I had 25 rounds hand loaded by a licensed armorer. He used Barnes X 350gr. which according to the notes on the box produces 2650 fps. I'm assuming from what I've read that this is plenty for browns but I've heard 400gr would work better. Any thoughts.
Another question, is there permium 416 ammo out there now? I know I couldn't find any back then. Thanks
