I saw that post! As long as theres armchair quarterbacking going on here I'll say I would have no qualms about shooting a brown bear with a 7x57 and 175 NPTs...
Except i sold my 7x57 to Rev Mike
And I would listen to Phil and say I would indeed use use with a 200 NPT on a brown bear.....
if one ever wanders by the house.
Yep, at this point I am 'armchairing it'. That's what dreams are made of.
I haven't had the op YET to hunt Elk, but I put in for the draw EVERY yr. I am prepared - rifle/load/bullet>>practice.
I probably will never get to hunt Brown Bear but I LOVE the idea and AM prepared - rifleS - load/bullet>>practice.
Ingwe this is NOT directed at you. Some people don't believe you can learn anything W/O doing it.
I guess some people can't/aren't prepared to do MUCH.
As to The REV.- he now has the 'liability'.
AND yes I would confidently use a 30-06 or 7 RM or 300 WM all loaded with Controlled Expansion bullets.
SO - I guess the Alaska G & F C recognizes the queer 270 as adequate for Brown Bear! Sounds MANLY to me.
