I'd recommend .338 and up for Brown Bear, but let me admit I've not taken one. Big brown bears are substantial critters. .375 H & H is the minimum for African DG game including lion and buffalo for a reason. I'd consider a big brown bear to be in that same class.




You don't know fear until you have one of these bastids coming after you.....

That size goes good in a smoker or Cajun microwave.
