[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2759693, member: 29323"] When I was on detail to Alaska, I watched a video of a guy hunting with a .338 Magnum. He knocked the bear over three times with shots behind the shoulder. Each time the bear got up and kept moving. The fourth shot hit the shoulder, and kept the bear from going anywhere, but didn't kill it. The unguided hunter was unfamiliar with a borrowed Browning rifle and couldn't figure out how to reinsert the magazine. Brownings have a weird magazine that has to clip onto the drop plate before closing. If the bear had been charging him, he would have died. He finally killed it with his fifth shot. I would have never believed that a .338 Magnum wouldn't just kill a bear as quickly as a .270 kills a deer. It gave me a whole new respect for how tough a grizzly is. Forest Service surveyors in Alaska use .458 Win. Magnums. Each person has to qualify with the rifle. [/QUOTE]
