Default RE: 338 Mag not enough for Brown Bears

Ever stopped and considered why bowhunting with a little 125 grain broadhead is so popular and no-one says anything about lack of power, but then you turn around and people are raving about using a 7mm STW or a 300 ultra mag for antelope? Even for deer that is too much. Id say go with a 7mm rem mag at most so that you dont ruin any meat. Its all just a matter of where you shoot the animal, not how hard you hit them. You dont have to drop them right where they stand, or rather flip them over and blow a hole the size of your fist in them for the people using ultramags and other huge guns on little deer and antelope. So there is no way a 338 is not enough for brown bears.
