I had a friend drop a Kodiak brownie with one shot from the hip at 10 yrds with an 8mmMag, luck yes but he was impressed once he cleaned himself up.
I rolled a charging Kodiak brownie at less than ten yards with a 300Wby...a good bit less. I was impressed that I didn't die.
That must have been interesting!
A friend has hunted Africa and Alaska,and for elk in the west with a pair of 8mm Mags. I got to watch it work on elk several times. My impression was that it didn't do anything a 300 Weatherby wouldn't do as well.He agreed but he liked the rifles.
