[QUOTE="69firebird, post: 1634918, member: 60389"] IMO take your .300 Win mag, if it’s what your comfortable with you will be most focused on your shot placement, and that’s what matters. Next I’d take the caliber and bullet your guide suggests, cause they usually aren’t thrilled when someone shows up with a new unfamiliar large caliber. Or a poor bullet choice. You get into the 375 H, 416 and larger you have no range for a follow up shot if the bears making tracks. There’s an old USFS article on some research they did for their employees and what caliber to carry for bear defence and they picked .30-06 first because it was easy to shoot. Then I think a .458 Shot a brown bear on the peninsula last year 140 yards with my .300 Weatherby and 200gr partitions [/QUOTE]
