[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 185029, member: 25"] 911, I shoot for the nervous system, which is easiest to take out with a shot to the scapula, no lung or heart shots ever. Puts them on the ground and gives me control of the situation for a finisher. There is very little control when the lung shot bear has disappeared in the alders. That is why I like the A-Frames, they bust the heck out of the scapula and spine bones, and take out the nervous system. I have killed enough hundred bears to know this works, plus had more than my share of all-out charges. Believe me, you will not be worrying about the bullet when a big bear is coming at you. The .338 you are having built will be a great bear rifle. Best luck with finding a good load, there are several good bullets out there. I would stay with a 225 to 250 to take advantage of all that velocity potential. [/QUOTE]
