The premise of the this topic is fundamentally wrong!
We should not select or suggest a "minimum" caliber for dangerous game let alone such a magnificent trophy such as the "Kodiak" bear.
The entire event and story later will be better told if if a large and powerful 'caliber' is selected.
DumbassDon,
What's your first-hand experience with hunting brown bear?
