[QUOTE="Gowge, post: 10802, member: 1870"] Dear John & Harv, A 30-06 is enough gun to kill even a large Grizz, but there's a BIG difference between a killing caliber and a [B]STOPPING GUN CALIBER. [/B] To stop a charge from Dangerous Game at close range, you must be able to hammer the beast into the ground. FEW rifles and slugs are capable of doing this.
