[QUOTE="Buano, post: 442994, member: 21641"] I do not believe any rifle under a .338 is big enough for hunting grizzlies. There have been a lot of grizzlies shot over the last 100 years with rifles from a .270 Win through the 30-06 -- but that does not mean those rifles are powerful enough to be sure of putting a ****ed-off grizzlie down before he can put you down. A .375 H&H is probably the best grizzlie round as it's enough to stop a grizzlie & light enough most people can shoot it (with a little practice). Either a 7MM Remington magnum or a 7mm WSM would be sufficient for black bears or deer. If you want to hunt grizzlies & deer, great -- just plan on using at least 2 rifles. Anything big enough & powerful enough to stop a grizzlie would shred a whitetail. Anything fir for shooting a whitetail won't be powerful enough to be a grizzlie stopper. [/QUOTE]
