bigbulls,

I disagree! I've shot brown bears myself, and seen others shot!! "If" you don't do your part, a 375 won't kill them any faster than a 30-06 with 200 NP's!!! I've seen one run off shot with a 378 wby, so bigger is NOT always better!! 06 with 200 NP's will penetrate just as well or better than a 270 N in a 375 H&H, and that's what it's all about!!! You just can't "shock" a big bear down, you have to break bone, and the 06 will do it with the right bullets!! So will the 7 Rem. mag!!

I saw it over and over in Alaska, guys always thinking bigger is better, and all because of poor shooting in the first place!!! "If" you can't do the job with a 7 mag with 175 NP's, or an 06 with 200 NP's, then you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place!!!

Practice, practice, and practice some more!!!
