[QUOTE="Far North Hunter, post: 2760819, member: 110640"] Of the moose I’ve taken I’ve used a 300 RUM, 338 RUM and 338 Win. All with quality bonded bullets. None exceeded 250 gr. If you’re guided in man eating bear country I’d think your guide may well carry a big bear big bore. The calibers I mentioned all performed perfectly..shot placement dependent. I would opt for a caliber and barrel length that you can easily balance, manage the recoil and quickly get back on point for an anchoring or rushed shot..if required. I’ve seen several situations where the hunter was seriously over gunned. More than once this resulted in poor shot placement, a lost animal or having to clean a moose in the water. [/QUOTE]
