[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1918275, member: 9308"] Simplest is best. Common and available is best. Being able to handle the recoil without needing a muzzle-brake is best. So my vote is [B].338 Win Mag with 250gr partition[/B] or [B].[I][U]375 H&H w/either the 260gr or 300gr partition[/U][/I][/B]. In a 9 to10lb rifle (fully loaded and scoped), the recoil is manageable and the rifle will still be carry-able. And if you lose your ammo, someone in camp will have some or the nearest town or outpost will have some. It's a big bear, but they've been killed with far lesser cartridges reliably for many years. These two will give you plenty of margin for error and still do the deed. [/QUOTE]
