[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 632442, member: 2460"] If you are flexible in your choice of bullet diameter give the 300 RUM a good look ! with 200 gr. Swift A-Frame bullets in factory loads or handloads it's more than enough out to 300 yards, quite possibly the best close to mid range moose/bear bullet in 30 Cal... IMO Load up the 200 gr Accubond for shots past 300 yards and then you are also in business out to 500 yards...( & beyond if you are capable ) If you feel undergunned with a 300Rum in bear country bring along a 454 Casull or 500 S&W Mag revolver... wear it in a hip holster on your left side butt forward for quick access ...... just practice with your revolver A LOT and know how to use it !!!!!!!!! I've been doing all of the above for many years on all of my solo moose hunts in Alaska and have always felt "bear tooth proof"..... Of course with common sense and caution bear encounters can be avoided, but sometimes stuff does happen and the weight of a big chunk of iron on the hip feels really comforting !! [/QUOTE]
