[QUOTE="coyotl, post: 1598733, member: 47469"] Quite quite a few years ago I went on a ewe sheep hunt with an acquaintance into an area full of grizzlies. I was carrying a single shot .240 Gibbs shooting a 100 grain Sierra pushing 3500 FPS. On the first day we bumped into a young grizzly at 30 yards. I remember wondering how good a shot my acquaintance was, and thinking that if I held fire till the bear was almost on the muzzle and shot him in the head maybe I could take enough hair off that they’d be be able to figure out which bear ate these two poor fellas in the woods. Lol. I did kill a ewe that trip. At 200 yards it made a 2 inch entrance hole and didn’t exit on a broadside shot. Now I carry a Kimber 8400 in 338 WM shooting 210 Barnes at 3000. It’s pretty light and will get the job done on sheep or bears. I call it hunting condition. [/QUOTE]
