[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1512732, member: 30902"] The only hole I see is on the upper end. Unless you're planning to shoot the grizzly at 1,000yds or further take a look at the 33 Nosler, 338-375Ruger, or just a straight .375Ruger. Though it doesn't get a lot of billing these days the .338 Rum is a very respectable round as well. Personally the more I shoot the .375 Ruger the more I see it as a fantastic cartridge overall that I can to just about anything with out to 600yds. I plan on building one sooner rather than later with a 28" barrel to see just how much further I can stretch it out. So far I've taken two very large boars with the .375 Ruger and a lot of African game and it never ceases to amaze me when it comes to dropping them dead in their tracks every time as long as I do my part. I killed one huge boar with it last year running straight way, quartering maybe 5 deg at most and hit him with a 270gr Peregrine VLR5 just below the anus and it still exited with about a golfball sized hole just off center from his chest. He weighed over 600lbs. I thought for years about building one of the big 338's bur for my purposes it would be going backwards. I have my 7mm STW's and 300 Rums if I want to shoot something at a thousand yards and the .375Ruger for the big monsters from PB to at least 600yds. With those considerations I just can't justify the expense or beating myself up with the .338's. [/QUOTE]
