That's the shots I go for. The OP was concerning dangerous game. The last black bear I shot was with my 22-250. 20yds, in the side of the head as he wouldn't leave the yard and that gun happened to be in my pick up.
When I reload I use Sierra Matchking bullets. High accuracy and those hollow points do massive shock damage and nothing I have shot with them has gone anywhere. I shot a white tail buck years back with my 300 Wby and hollow point. He fell over sideways without even kicking. Bone/bullet fragments went up and struck the spine taking out the heart at the same time.
