[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1635013, member: 78056"] Jim, the .338 RUM is a very good choice for a bear gun. I would use a 250 gr. Partition or Swift A frame but the Hammer bullets are also starting to intrigue me & I might be forced to try some, even tho a bear hint isn't likely in my future. I have a .338 WM but if I were buying today I would get the RUM instead. The belts are totally unnecessary these days and the RUM is the perfect replacement. Whatever you get, make sure you can shoot the rifle from oddball positions without flinching. If you're recoil sensitive, you'd be better off with a smaller caliber you can shoot well. If not, however, the .338 is a very good choice. If you think it's possible there might be an African trip in your future, then take a hard look at the 375 or even 416 cals but otherwise, the .338 will cover anything in NA that walks, crawls, slithers, swims or flies! Or that might bite! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
