Brown Bear Caliber ?

[full_throttle]

Wondering everyone's opinion on a brown bear caliber? Is a 30 caliber with a barnes bullet going to do the job? I am thinking of taking my 300 WSM with a 180 grain barnes.

Shot placement. Shot Placement. SHOT PLACEMENT!

your fast 30 will do the job quite nicely IMO.

if it was me id be taking my .270win

The fast .30 will certainly do the job though I personally would use the hunt as an exscuse to ger either a .338 mag or a 375 HH or 375 Ruger

I'd use a 338 mag, but then again I have one. I wouldn't think twice about a 180 in a big 30. It will do just fine. A good freind has taken 7 Griz........with a 30.06.

discard my first post...this man is spot on.

Your WSM is useless against the unstoppable force that is the coastal grizzly. Time to go gun shopping.

Nothing below a .500 A-Square. It sends a 600 grain Monolithic Solid Projectile down the range at 2,500 feet per second, to create an 8200 foot pounds of energy upon impact. And the good thing is ammo is only $18.95 per round. Shot one of these at the range last year and am convinced it will do the job on a griz, and if you see a whitetail doe you might be able to get her too.

I also have a 375 RUGER, but IMO I would rather shoot the 300 WSM. Both guns shoot under 1".

375 h&h with 300 grain Swift A Frames. Always worked for me.
