RE: need a gun
I just reread that and I sounded a bit pompous. Sorry about that.
I might add that my Pop reloaded his own ammo ( as I do now) and he always loaded "heavy and hot" for Griz and Brownies.
With a 220 gr bullet and a hot charge, you can tackle most anything in NA.
AsEldequellosaid , know your quarry. Shot placement is key.
