My brother lives in Alaska, and I have a cabin on the Kenai... we have hunted up there for two decades. He took his first Alaska brownie with a 300 WM...and has since moved to a 300 WBY...a 338 WM is plenty of medicine for a brownie, taking into consideration a couple of things....shot placement (vital shots are key), know your weapon (know your weapon well and handle it well), bullet choice (you shoot cheap ammo, expect cheap results)...these three things are more important than caliber.
