I think I read that you still carry a .458 WM bolt...I know I did not have that on my list in my OP:
MarlinSBL 45-70 w/Garretts 540gr. SuperHardCast gas-checked Hammerhead
Benelli M4 H2O w/Brenneke Black Magic Slug
Browning BAR .338 w/300gr. Woodleigh Weldcore JSP
Ar15/M4 .458 SOCOM w/405gr. CORBON Self-Defense JSP

...can I ask you why you chose the .458, given that as a hunting round it is more considered a Safari / Big 5 round and overkill for anything in N.A.?
Is it that you think anything under .458 is iffy for Grizzly / Brown bear (defense, not hunting)
