[QUOTE="skey01, post: 592994, member: 21165"] I have been to Alaska a couple times, have 2 friends that have guided up there.. One also worked for the park service and carried a 375 H&H issued by the park sevice.. I have asked the question more than once & the most popular 2 calibers are 375 H&H & 338 Win Mag for the guides... Of course shot placement is key.. I have shot bears with my 338 win mag it works great.. I shot a griz in BC with a 7mm STW with a quality bonded bullet shot him at 290 yards behind the shoulder and he died within 40 yards of where he was shot.. we were hunting black bears and grizz up there.. That particular day we were not supposed to see grizz just black bears well guess what, WRONG!! I say take the biggest gun you can shoot well, most guides will tell you the same thing.. [/QUOTE]
