[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 122837, member: 3776"] When I lived in Alaska I shot 2 Grizz one with a 338 Win. Mag and one with a 475 Linebaugh revolver, both worked very well. The one with the 475 came in on us while cleaning a Moose, Jimmy shot first with a 338 and the bear went down and was up instantly, and quartering away,My shot hit behind the last rib in line with the opposite shoulder. At the shot the bear went striaght down with all 4 legs striaght out and that was that. I knew a guide out of the Fairbanks area and he used rifles from the 30-06 up to and including a 458 Win. Mag., and he said they all worked well if shot placement is adequate. Phil Shoemaker has stated in print that an 06 with good 200 to 220grain bullet is adequate for any and all bears.The 338 Win as well as the 375 H&H was very popular when I was living in Alaska.
