[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 72293, member: 8843"] After reading this post I called a buddy of mine that used to guide and asked what he thought. His comments were related to a hunter he once had that was to lazy to make a half mile stalk on a big coastal bear line of site was a lttle over 600yds (lazer ranged)and the hunter wanted to make the shot using a 33-378wby with a 250gr partition. He told the guy that he would allow the shot but if he dicked it up that he would be the one going after a wounded bear in think cover alone because my friend wasen't gonna risk hi life for a lazy mistake. My oppinion would be to use a big 338 that would be capibale of making a shot out to 500-600yds. Another oppinion , I think that 1500ftlbs of energy would be plenty of energy to kill a calm bear , after all most guys carry a 44mag as a side arm for backup and it doesen't come anywhere close to that kind of energy at the muzzel!!
