65: On the pic of the bear that OU76 posted?

IMO it's just on the edge of not enough broadside...I would want him turned a hair more....that said, I think a good bullet in a medium 338 or 375 would traverse the chest and make the offside shoulder with enough muscle to break stuff a long ways from the entrance, which at that angle is going to start pretty far back IMO.....but I personally would like him turned a bit more....if you know where it is you might break the spine near the shoulders.

With that heavy brush in the background it might be good to hold him where he is if you can.Or you might get more excitement than you want.....OU tells me that bear is close to a 10-footer.....

I have only shot two grizzlies(brown bear),and they were more broadside than that.....

65 are you going grizzlie hunting with the 6.5?

Frankly I'd much rather have a 30/06 than the 6.5 but I'm no expert....
