[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 819235, member: 68226"] I went to Alaska 2 yrs ago and received my Grizz. The guide told me that we were in close proximity of where Tim Treadwell was killed. I do not know if that means 100 miles or 1 mile. I can tell you that I thought I was impressed with the 338-378 Weatherby stoked with RL25 and a 265 Barnes on it to 3235 fps. Anchored so quick it did not even turn to "bite the bullet" . Then my wife shot one 3 in bigger than mine, 7-08, 120 gr bullet. Dropped it its tracks! hers war 75 yds away, mine 120. That night with the guide while we were laughing about it he showed us his back up weapon. A 4 in barreled 357! He stated he has had to use it twice and anchored the bears each time. This goes to prove it is not about our favorite calibers and how they are the only ones that will work but more about shot placement and ability, I still want my Weatherby. [/QUOTE]
