Default RE: brown bear caliber

I can't believe none of the AK guys got on here and suggesteda 375 H&H, Ultra, or the favorite wildcat. There are many guys up here shooting 375's and for good reason. The375 (pick your caliber) is a great way to go for brown bear and all other dangerous game. With the 375's you getbig boreenergyplusextended range unlike many of the big bores that give good energy but lack long range capability.

I personally know a guy who dropped a 67" bull moose at 538 yards with a 375 Ultra loaded with A-frames. He said the shot wasn't that hard because he says "A moose has a kill zone the size of a Volkswagon." butno matter how you look atit the375mags are going to carry a lot of energya long ways.

I also know a guy whokilled a charging 8'3 interior grizzly with one shot from a .338 Win. so you make the call. With Grizzly "bigger is better" .338 Win.is the smallest I would go with any brown or Grizz.
