Don't listen to a German giving advice on how to hunt an animal that doesn't exist in his part of the world.
Carl guides in Alaska for one of the top brown bear outfitters in the state
....he probably has bumped into more bears by accident than you have on purpose....and I will bet he has killed far more of them than you have,as well....Besides, Europe ain't exactly devoid of bears,either.
You're over your head here Polska...these guys have too much "bear" experience on here...
While on the subject of calibers,of the many friends and I have killed,here in NH and Maine,and using everything from the Roberts to the 375,a couple of the more egregious tracking jobs we have had involved a 257 Roberts and a 340 Weatherby....in both instances the shots were too far back....the others folded like napkins to 270's, 30/06's,280's 7 mags etc....Hit well, they are not hard to kill...hit sloppily with anything and it's rodeo time.
