If I was to strictly hunt bears or the big browns in paticular I would own and shoot .375 H&H, yes It might be a overkill but that way I could try to shoot them with my bow first and if and when things go wrong, that shoud put them down in a hurry! If I couldn't own a .375 then I might try a .416 Rem, or heck since I am dreaming anyway why not a.358 Shooting Times Alaskan that should do the trick!

If I am not mistaken the .358 STA is a necked up 8mm Rem right? And the 8mm Rem is based of the .375 H&H rigth? So the .358 STA is essentially a 375 H&H necked down to .358 right? I ask this because I think I know, but I wouldn't bet my life on it. ElkampMaster I know you know the answerer to this so please tell me if I am right or wrong!
