[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 2055147, member: 26227"] Piggybacking RT2506's post. 7MM R/M is not my favorite cartridge, I think it's an descent enough cartridge. deer it is good, Elk with the right shooter behind it, it's good.. Bear? I would not trust it. I own a 375 H&H. I trust that with 300 grain Nosler AB's to stop bears. I have gotten to the DG solid & DGX from Hornady as a good round for bear too. then Cutting Edge and Hammer are also good slugs for my 375 H&H.

Wonderful bear slugs. this gun was bought in Alaska for bears. it spent more than 50 years doing just that. when I got it I was going to be moving up to Alaska but that fell through. I still used this gun for bear defense in Montana.
