[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 499898, member: 26019"] The 338 is not too much gun for any large game ( lower 48 states ). Smaller cartridges will get the job done in open terrain. I use .375 because of bullet deflection. There can and probably will be brush between me and the bear, the big heavy and slower bullets aren't near as easily sent off course by a small twig. However if you are not up on practice with a medium bore you might want to give that a good amount of thought as well! [/QUOTE]
