[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1650456, member: 1940"] I spent just two weeks up there on a Dall Sheep/grizzly hunt... as an assistant to the client. He had a disability so I was recruited to carry most of the weight he would have. One of the guides carried a .375 H&H and the other an ‘06 shooting heavy bullets. I carried a pack and stayed behind them. I’ve shot a lot of elk with various .300’s and 200 grain bullets. I can tell you they are killing machines. I would carry that for big bears with confidence. A proper shot from a lesser round is far deadlier than a bad shot from a powerhouse cartridge. FWIW I once ordered an ultra light .338 Win from MG Arms. It weighed about 6.5 lbs scoped, but the muzzle break they made for it made it far more pleasant to shoot than my .300’s. Unfortunately it was the poorest custom rifle I’ve ever owned. My Kimbers were far better rifles, but that’s a different story... [/QUOTE]
