really big game like alaskan bull moose or grizzly bear have thick dense, bone, and very large muscle mass. I would consider AP to be closer to wise than overkill, id have to check the book for regulations im not sure if it would be allowed on a legal hunt.
- LinuxBender 4y agoAlaska does not prohibit armor-piercing ammunition, although the federal prohibition on certain kinds of armor-piercing ammunition applies [1] - https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/ammunition-regulation-in-alaska/ https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/ammunition-regulat...
- rolph 4y agoi just read through the hunting regulations for alaska this season, and there seem to be some changes. there used to be a lower limit [.30] to centerfire rifle calibre. it seems that has been removed, and you cant use rimfire [.22] calibres except in special hunt of caribou crossing a river. it seems [.223] would be a legal calibre for large game this year but id go larger. [edit] i just went a little further on: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=hunting.firearms http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=hunting.firearms the concern is that a well placed shot as in staying in an 8" group at 200 yards is good enough to take large game. a big bore rifle of such recoil that you cant place a shot is more likely to end in a wounded animal chase, than an accurate smaller bore of lower recoil that you can manage.
