Thanks for you explanation. Not sure what words I put in your mouth, I was simply asking to clarify what you said in previous posts that I quoted. That was all I was simply asking for.

SO in your experience of hunting bears did get stuck with a marginal angle shot and able to still harvest the bear due to the 340 Wby? I am sure you wait for your guide to tell you when its ok to shoot vs. not shoot right? I believe most guides wait for the first shot to be a good angle regardless of the clients choice of firepower. I could be wrong on this, but this would best ensure the 1 shot kill you are going after anyways.

Phil (458 Win) do you base if you'd let your clients take hard angled shots on a bear based on the firepower they are packing? Just curious.

Again like I said I am glad you like your 340 wby and use it well. And wish you all the best this fall and look forward to seeing your pics of the monster brownie you end up taking.
