[QUOTE="Brent, post: 10630, member: 99"] John, Wasn't directed at what you had said. I'm not even interested in anything larger than .50 cal, although 577 would get the job done I'm sure. I just think once you add stopping power to good killing power you have a cartridge with total ability on big Bear and such, something you may need. Last winter, Tim, the guy that's hunting the Grizz up river right now, the one we are after too, he shot one last winter while walking back home after their rig broke down up there. It was just about dark and the Grizz came onto the trail 50' in front of them and charged. Tim shot with his 7 mag and the Bear turned into the brush. He turned around to see Joey had dropped his rifle and flew up a tree behind him! They turned it in to F&G but F&G never could find the Bear either. Later this winter Tim found the carcass near his trap line about 1/2 mile off. There was only a spot of blood in a couple places off into the bush, said they simply could not track him with what little it left behind. Believe it or not, if you've ever hunted Moose, they can really soak up a hit and just run too, they are tough critters sometimes. [/QUOTE]
