[QUOTE="Guest, post: 10795"] The 375 H&H with the 270 Barnes will stop a grizzly. A 416 with a 400 Barnes will definitely stop the Grizzly. Poor shot placement is poor shot placement. Stupid Mistakes are stupid Mistakes. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR>Newman next made the first of his mistakes, he said: He left the side of his hunter and crawled toward the water for a better look.

He is impatient and goes after an animal that he is not even sure of where it has been hit. In the other story, the guy shot an animal from 200 yards away when it was adjecent to the brush. The he goes looking for it without certainty of a mortal wound. I didn't hear anything in either story of well planned and well placed shots NOT dropping animals. Also, there was never a mention in either story of a sidearm or backup weapon. It seems that a holstered pistol would have improved both of those situations. [/QUOTE]
