[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2918337, member: 8394"] Couple weeks ago we were camping with a fellow who assistant guided on the peninsula, he'd had a client shoot a nice bear with some ultra mag master blaster. They were over looking at the bear getting ready for pictures, when the client admitted he'd never shot the rifle before harvesting the bear, and further admitted he'd of missed if he had.... because it kicked so hard he was certain he would have flinched. Over the course of day it was revealed he had read up online about various bear stopping cartridges. But also had read about guides not liking brakes and the like. So he had a non braked rifle built in said far shooten loudenboomer, a load done by a boutique ammo company, and then had the smith bore sight it in... then straight to the Great wide north. While its a terrible idea, and not one I'd ever recommend it did work once. Friend did laugh a bit, he figured it must have been some kind of recoil as the client talked about how hard it hit him more than the bear in the days after the hunt. Figured he had a one shot rifle he'd likely never use again... [/QUOTE]
