[QUOTE="ricka0, post: 82597, member: 3086"] You guys need to head over to the other thread where folks are championing the .284 on Griz. Having see a Jynormous Black bear charge my father with a well placed 220 gr bullet out his ’06, and taking two more well placed shots to drop it [And knowing a griz is much tougher than a Blackly] – I agree the 338 is on the light side. Perhaps my 338 Lilja/Allen/RUM would be barely minimal. [ QUOTE ] <font color="purple"> [b] Regarding GG breaking the old African rule on dangerous game, I haven't heard of wounded ground hogs charging those shooting them and killing them or pronghorn either, hence the 40 cal min on dangerous game doesn't apply. [/ QUOTE ] [/b] </font> </font> </font> You have not addressed my rejection of the obsolete rule, that rejects science and current technology.

Check out my 375 RUM v. 416 Rigby page – it clearly reveals the 375 RUM is FAR Superior to the .416 in Energy, Path and Velocity right out the tube and things only get better as time goes on.
