[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 390753, member: 12863"] Then thee is one of us who lives on Kodiak Island and hunts the big bears every year. I personally would use the 300 and 200 grain partitions with confidence. Premium bullets are a must. I took my first Brownie with a 200 grain 35 caliber bullet from a handgun in 358 Winchester. Broken neck drops them every time. Your 45-70 would be my choice over the two you are asking questions about. Big bears do not read ballistics tables so big diameter heavy slow moving bullets that hit hard and penetrate deep are ALWAYS preferred for bone crushing authority! Personally I hunt with a 338 Edge in a 19" barrreled handgun and feel all the confidence in the world with the 225 grain Nosler Accubond. When I am backing up friends and family I carry either my 358STA or my 416. If I am called into action then I want heavy hitting authority for up close and personal work. Neal [/QUOTE]
