[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 339882, member: 4191"] Yes, that's enough gun for hunting inland grizzlies. For coastal brown bears, which can be twice the size of inland grizzlies, I would recommend more caliber. I've shot both grizzlies and coastal brown bear with a 7mm Rem Mag. And I've shot large coastal brown bear with 338 RUM class cartridges. The 338 was notably more effective in disabling / dispatching the big boys. There's a big difference between killing these unsuspecting bears from a distance versus stopping them when they're adrenaline charged and in-your-face. Bigger the better for the close quarters stuff. If you can place good hits from a solid shooting position from 100-200 yds away, the 7mm Rem Mag will certainly kill even the biggest of brown bear - using quality controlled expansion bullets. However, I will emphasize that these bears clearly absorbed and survived the 7mm impacts better than the 338s. [/QUOTE]
