[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1557910, member: 26077"] Not trying to bust your chops. Your comment that it could and has happened did not answer my question. I could get hit by a meteor but it isn't something I worry about ever. Far more likely to get killed in a small plane accident while hunting than getting et by a bear. A guy must not become so risk averse that we quit hunting. I have a 375 Ruger and even a 460 Bee. If I was specifically going hunting Brown bear I would probably use the 375 Ruger or the 45-70. That said, I also wouldn't be worried about using my 7 RUM, very similar to the 28 Nosler, on a bear if I needed to. It is more than enough gun to put a smack down on a bear with a 175 grain TSX or a Nosler Partition. A 375 H&H won't stop a bear any faster, given the same shot placement. My point is, the chances of needing the gun for protection when not hunting bear is so remote as to be one of the smallest considerations when deciding what to use on Moose. [/QUOTE]
