[QUOTE="Thebear_78, post: 2882593, member: 1545"] Tyler used the 6.5 on purpose because of all the Creedmoor hate out there. It was frankly the perfect choice of situation to use a smaller cartridge. Close range, lots of time to make that perfect shot, and adequate for a carefully placed shot on an unalarned animal. You give a bear a chance to get all jacked up on adrenaline and it’s a very different situation. I think that often guys are hunting bears with more gun than they really need. A lot of times being over gunned can really have a negative effect on how well they can shoot. I have heard of a lot more bears needing multiple shots with 338-458 than I have with 7mm or 30s. Unless you live here you are forced to have a guide to back you up. If you do live here you don’t have the time crunch working against you so you can wait for that perfect opportunity. The more experience you have with bears the bearanoia wears off. You still need to be aware of your surroundings and situations but it becomes more realistic. [/QUOTE]
