Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska 325 WSM Brown Bear medicine

I've shot a 270 (150g Partitions at 3000 fps) for most of my life (40 plus years hunting). Over the past 8 years or so I've moved into the big bores. I have to say my Rem XCR II (7 1/2 lbs with Leupold 1.5-5x scope) in 375 Weatherby with 375 H&H factory loads kicks less than my CZ 550 in 375 H&H did at 10 lbs with the same scope. It has to be the stock. My CZ 550 (a great gun by the way) has grown up to be a 500 Jeffery. Maybe that's why I think the little 375 kicks so little ...

Phil says a 30-06 is enough gun, I believe him. But those bears are damn big when you're within 10 yards of them.
