[QUOTE="Carsyn.22, post: 1743651, member: 104613"] I have known a couple of guys who guided in Northern Canada, one old guy carried a 30-06 with 220 gr RN, he seemed to have a disdain for hunters who showed up with anything magnum even .338 or .375, on the other hand he was impressed with a German client shooting the 9.3x64 Brenneke, said it was very effective on Grizzly. The other guy used a 45-70 with heavy hardcast. Both said that if you have to shoot a charging bear, plan to only get one shot, so you better wait till he's around 8-10 yards and put it in the brain or neck to knock him down and ideally with enough penetration to reach the vitals from that angle so he bleeds out before waking up... Both guides knew several other guides that carried nothing but a 30-30 because that is what they were confident with in that situation... [/QUOTE]
