Try the 88 eldmI've got a particular spot where I see bears every spring, 500 yards +or-. Would take this shot with a 22-250 AI Shooting 80s @3200?
This was meant to be a poll, not really a lengthy debate. I was kind of curious on the stats.Isn’t there already a 150+ page thread on this topic?

Edited to add link to thread. That would've been more helpful from the get go. Apologies.
I killed a nice pronghorn with a 22-250 and 60 grn partitions at 285 yards. Hit him perfectly broadside and double lunged him he went straight down. I recovered the bullet on the off side and it mushroomed perfectly and was at least 85% weight retention.Assuming you have proper skill, bullet selection, ideal shot scenario, I’m curious what people think about this.
