338 Mag not enough for Brown Bears
Well it happened. I was on another board on Alaskan hunting and now the talk is that a 338 Winchester magnum is not enough gun for the Big Bears. It just seems that the older I get the more gun you have to have. I have older books written in the 80's that state the praise the virtue of the 338 Winchester magnum as a great Alaskan rifle.
These books show pictures of the great Kodiak Bears and the happy hunters next to his prize and the 338 Magnum in hand. Now the 338 is overshadowed by the 375 H-H magnum, 416 , and 458 Lott. I bet that it won’t be long that the 375 will suffer the same fate to the 416 and 458 mags. Who knows after we are all gone, maybe rail guns that shoot 1000 grain bullets at 8000 FPS.
