[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1197546, member: 4191"] Reassuring information Jeff, based on my current caliber and bullet choices. Thanks for sharing. It's rare that anyone is in the position to collect this sort of comparative information - since few participate in elk cull hunts and observe so many kills. Knowing what a stickler you are for details, and how matter of fact you present your findings, I don't need further convincing - and won't be persuaded otherwise. I've hunted Alaska game with .338s, .308s, and 7mms over the past 40 years. Predominantly the .338s and .308s because of the every present bears. The .338s are pretty potent stoppers on moose and brown bear. All in all, obviously more so than the 7mms. Today I use .308s for backpack hunting when hunting sheep, goat, caribou or black bear, due to the extra stopping power should I have to kill a grizzly in self defense. When I hunt brown bear, it's a .338 - whether I'm backpack hunting or not. I want them down so they can't take me down, which has become a fairly common annual occurrence for both hunters and non-hunters alike up here. Sows protective of their cubs most of the time, but sometimes old dominant boars. I transferred over to the 215gr Hybrid largely based on your experiences and feedback. That and Rich also found them to perform very well both accuracy and efficiency-wise. So you've helped me keep on keeping on with the same calibers I've settled into over the years. Good job collecting the information, and thanks much for sharing it with us. [/QUOTE]
