Whichever you choose by several boxes and make sure it feeds and fires 100% from your pistol

I always thought I would use a 200gr hardcast.... but I killed mine with a 200 xtp and results were stellar.

Feed and function for sure mine digests 180's no problems. I'll look at the 200 grainers.

Looks like I found my new bear bullet.

Most manufacturers have some type of barrier blind bullet. Find one that shoots well for your pistol. Here are some options, but there are many others available.

I have used the Federal solid core 200gr. in my Glock 23 and it has fed and functioned flawlessly. I would highly recommend it. Haven’t used it on any game so can’t speak on that but as far as reliability I definitely would trust it.

Here's a 200xtp after eating a bear. To be fair it was from a 10mm but velocities are close enough.
