There's a couple articles in older Rifle magazines regarding cartridges, bullets and brown bears. It seems a native girl killed the largest recorded grizzly with a 22lr. The record held for many years. The article "What 63 dead Grizzlies tells us) (I think) said that a woman got a one shot kill with a varmint rifle (270 haha) and another got a one shot kill from a 375. People that brought 458 mag and 358 mag didn't do well at all.
Generally, except for the 375 the lighter cartridges - 06, 7mm mag, 270 etc did well.
It seems people bought rifles they had little skill with and many shots were required to bring down the Bruins.

I am planning a trip and am trying to decide 350, 338, 375, 300, or 416 to take. I'm practicing with the 416. It's expensive.

I have TSX's for the 416. The rest I'd use Partitions.


I prefer classic.
