[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1620292, member: 69192"] [I][U]"if a brown bear was running at me maybe my super human strength would show up."[/U][/I] This was my point exactly. The four hunters were all hunting with factory loaded 300 WinMag ammunition. From the hunter whose gun jammed there were no barrel obstructions, actually really no explanation other than extractor failure. This hunter is built the same as what you have described your stature to, he is a construction worker, agile and naturally strong. What I can assure you is that I will take an extractor that is 3/8ths of an inch wide over an extractor that is 1/8 inches wide any day! I can also tell you that all four hunters are carrying controlled feed, 338 WinMags; the hunter's shot did hit the bear! But that's another story for another thread:rolleyes:! The four hunters went back the following year and did find the skeletal remains of a dead bear a short distance from where the attack occured. The hunter stated that he knew it was the same bear because the scars in his head matched the teeth in skeletal remains they found. [/QUOTE]
