[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2753677, member: 75451"] Energy is “WAY” overrated pertaining to large animals! Grizzlies and Browns are generally shot a closer ranges …..the closer the better! Most guides prefer good placement and the best performance that the cartridge can provide! Bigger holes and deeper penetration are very desirable…..though, there is nothing wrong with the .338WM. My wife had used one (.338 WM) exclusively since 1996…. though never on an Alaskan Brown or a Grizzly. Though, a moose, Black Bear, quite a few Antelope, Deer, and Elk have been taken by her with her .338. The Barnes 270 gr. LRX has pretty good BC’s….and should be a good bullet for the H&H. I will be building a load with 270 LRX’s this summer for my AI…..though, I’ll be running a bit more mv than a standard H&H. These are just my opinions….I’m certain that others may have different views! memtb [/QUOTE]
