[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2881942, member: 95344"] Here's what he wrote near the end of the article. "Larger calibers can certainly offer more forgiveness and do more damage—the Creedmoor is far from my first choice for backing up a brown bear hunter or tracking poorly-hit bears into the alders. If your use of the rifle is likely to be at very close range and defensive in nature, sure, go big. But within a couple hundred yards, with good shot selection, even the soy espresso mocha latte of the cartridge world is perfectly capable of killing the biggest bears quickly. I'd wager that it killed this bear just as quickly as my .375 Ruger would have in the same scenario—though I'm not equating the two." [/QUOTE]
