Grizzly Hunting

dirtygrass · Jan 12, 2018

Planning a Grizzly hunt, what rifle would you bring. I have a 300 win mag, 338 Lapua, 458 win mag, 348 Model 71 Win, or should I go by a 375 something?

You hunting over bait? or is it a spot & stock? Interior grizzly correct not a brown bear?

I would bring the one you shoot the best.

Please post your report. I am interested in doing a grizz hunt in the future

I killed an interior grizzly this past June over bait. Shot was @ 100 yards---I used a 375 Ruger. Other hunters there used 375 H&H.

Spot & Stock I would probably use the 300 Win Mag with 200 grain partitions. But really whichever gun you shoot the best is the best. 1st bullet counts----you have to hit them in the boiler room.

300 or 338 would be great. Where are you going?

Any one of the cartridges you state you have will get the job done. My granddad used a .348 Winchester in his younger years for all big game, including grizzly. My dad killed numerous inland grizzlies with a Remington 760 chambered in 06. One of them was a large sow that had claimed a bull moose he had killed. The sow charged him when he returned for another load of meat. She made a great rug. I carried a .458 when I worked up north. Came close to having to use it a couple times on coastal browns. Glad I didn't have to pull the trigger on them cause up close even with that weapon shouldered I felt real small!

Hey Dirty remember that most important thing all good bear hunters take with them.
A SLOW Fat guy.

You've got the .458. Might as well use it. It's the caliber guides used to use to stop a grizz charge in Alaska. I think they switched to something else now.

No doubt it will knock the snot out of a grizz.
