375 H&H or a lighter package a 35 Whelen or a 45-70 .

The 45-70 can be had in any platform you choose and can be loaded up or down from a heavy
45 pistol cartrige for off season practice and loaded up to nearly 458 Win.mag and will easily handle
250 yrds and elk and punch a plenty big enough hole to handle big bears .

338 Ultra Mag or 375 H&H

375 Ruger


or, if you're worried about getting firepower without having to lug around anything more than necessary, maybe the 338 RCM -- 338 Win Mag capabilities in a 20 inch barrel.

9.3x62

Is the 7MM Mag even capable with Grizz in the picture ?

Yes it has certainly been done thousands of times but it certainly wouldn't be my first, second, third, fourth, etc... choice.

IMO Grizzly should start at 338 Win mag. I haven't hunted Grizzly yet but whenI do it will be with a 338 or larger cartridge.

Here is my concern........When I'm in the high country, I'm in bear country.
Putting an animal on the ground, field dressing him and packing him out, can be the most dangerous part of the trip.
I already pack a sidearm for both follow-up and protection.

For griz, 338 win mag or 375 H&H! They'll certainlytake down an elk or moose also.

Since you will be in the highcountry, assuming your hunting elk/mule deer, with a chance of a grizz. I'd saw 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag, etc. But if you plan on actually chasing/harvesting a grizzley, and still hunting elk, etc with that gun, 338 Win Mag.

Or the new 375 Ruger.
