I'm not sure I understand what you mean... I use a 250g Barnes T-EZ for hog and deer. And I would be more than confident using that same bullet on bear and moose.

There are a lot of others that would do the job like the Barnes, that I have not used as I could not get them to group when I first tried them a few years ago and some that I just have never tried.
There are a lot of bullets out there I doubt that many have tried them all. Lee

I think of the Big Five in Africa as big ole hogs. Tough skin, lots of adrenaline and an animal you better have the ultimate respect for. I would use the biggest, heaviest hardest penitrating bullet I could force down my bore and use BH209 to push it.
