This intrigues me. You killed a grizzly with a 130 TTSX from a .308? What size bear, and what were the circumstances? I am curious about how it went down, how fast the bear was stopped, etc? Gotta run what ya brung sometimes, that’s just a little smaller than most folks would be comfortable with, so I am curious how it worked.
