Just got back from a brown bear hunt. The outfitter and most of the guides used 338 Win Mag as their back up rifles, mostly with factory loads. The outfitter uses 210 Partitions (Federal's load, I think) while my guide uses the 250 grain Partition in the Federal load. No backup shots required as I used the Hawkeye Alaskan 375 Ruger with a handloaded Barnes 300 grain TSX at 2550 MV - enough medicine.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
