[QUOTE="MkJose, post: 1626367, member: 107218"] I remember reading the article. Personally, I would not take a 7mm of any kind on a brown bear hunt. The animals are just too big and they deserve more than a marginal type chambering when being pursued. If all goes well, there may not be any noticeable difference with the kill between the 7mm's, the 300's, and 338's, etc... and so on. If things turn sour, I believe the 7mm, especially with a 140 grain load, is just lacking in too many areas. A lot of places that you will hunt for the big brownies are dense alder, willow, and devil's club jungles. Shots may be quick and fleeting at odd angles. I would definitely want something of greater diameter throwing a much heavier slug (of outstanding construction) in that type of situation. If you are hunting in the great wide open, the 7mm may work exceptionally well for you, but I would still go with the heaviest and best constructed bullet I could find. When hunting dangerous game in heavy cover, use the best gun for the job. As someone said earlier, there is replacement for displacement. [/QUOTE]
