[QUOTE="mtnhntr86, post: 2765421, member: 126324"] If you're a NR and hunting with an outfitter - most will have minimum caliber expectations. I've taken a nice brown - but over in Russia and at relatively close range. Personally I'd say a .338 WM minimum - but as so many have said...it's all about shot placement. Caliber can be an irrelevant discussion, but if you want to use statistics and mitigate risk, the biggest caliber you can handle reasonably. When I came back from that hunt, I picked up a .416 Rigby for my next brown bear hunt. That said, I also went light on my cape buffalo and took that with guy a .375 Ruger - so in the end it's all about placement and confidence in your weapon and load. Calibers can become a novelty.
