[QUOTE="257WTBY, post: 789731, member: 56428"] I went on a guided hunt several years ago for moose and bear I took two rifles with me I took my 300WTBY and my 338 win thinking 300 for moose and 338 for bears. We went after a moose first and on the stalk ran into a griz laying on a moose kill I shot him with the 180 barnes and had to shoot him again at 60 yds i hit him the second time in the head that did it. I often second guessed my first shot as the bear was sleeping on his side and we were on top of him and i could not get both lungs or break a shoulder so i spined him on the first shot. The guide said shoot again so i did where i knew would kill him barnes to the pumpkin did him in. Did i wish for more gun not on the first shot but i later saw how fast a bear ciould have covered that 60 yds and wished i had a cannon. I think the 338 will be fine but can u ever be over gunned on big nasty bears???? If i go again which i want to I will be shooting my 340 WTBY at minimum.... [/QUOTE]
