[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1594875, member: 97414"] The smallest caliber rifle holds the 7th world record Grizzly Bear here in our Province. 22 rimfire at point blank range,,, I'm not sure if I'd try this. LOL First Nations Gal named Bella Twin if I recall ,,, 1953 ish. We chased lots of black bears in our area with 30/30 Winchesters and 303 British,,, I switched over to magnum cartrages after that,,, then switched back to 308 & 30/06,,, I like to have a little extra """Punch-Junk""" when nail them. Shoot high in the shoulders with lead heavy up front,,, 180 or 200 gr semi pointed round noise. Nothing worse then having to go to the buck brush """if""" A wounded bear flees that way,,, the hounds will circle around but even they are smart enough to not go in since a wounded bear is nothing to deal with. Been there done that. Good luck on your adventures,,, pop the bear and let the games begin,,, hopefully it's down before it reaches the bush line. [/QUOTE]
