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.
Bob, it was plenty interesting! We were on a small hill and I think that helped immensely as I knocked her (8' sow) down, but she was right back up, but instead of running back up the hill towards us, she headed down the hill. At that point I was determined to finish her and hit her a second time and she rolled down into some alders and expired. Had she been determined to keep coming, it would have gotten a good bit uglier.
