My first brown bear got into the alders because I was a chump,inexperienced,and did not hit him correctly; he was also a very dead bear,lying down-wind of his backtrail, but as we followed in that rainforest, I did not know that at the time;the 375 had shrunk to the dimensions of a slingshot with marbles, so I completely understand Kute's comments on "bigger is better", but would prefer a 375 to either of the other cartridges mentioned here;I would not expect the 9.3 to hold any advantage over a 338 with heavy bullets, but I've been wrong about these things before........




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
