What does it take to kill a grizzly?
Dang...you called my bluff...you got me! Oh, wait, I have between 3 and 30 grizzly skulls laying around in the yard...I'm kind of gay, uh, I mean private though so I can't give you an exact number. -

And if shooting off a pack, a longer handguard helps keep the barrel from contacting anything. And like JBradley500 points out, if you're holding the handgaurd, further out might work better. That seems to be the case for me too. After messing with the Little Big Gun and finding I'm able to be... -

Such as...uh...you??? I'm also one of those guys that has never had a grizzly tag in my pocket. -

What does it take to kill a grizzly?
And not to mention, those fat layers aren't too thick on the spots you're typically placing a bullet. The biggest and fattest black bear I've shot had a layer of fat 3-4 inches thick over his back and rump, not much if any over his ribs or other places you'd likely be trying to put a bullet... -

What does it take to kill a grizzly?
There aren't a lot of rifles I find all that interesting, but your Kimber 223AI shooting the 88ELDs is at about the top of the list. Always brings me back to building my 700Ti into something similar. -

Neither I, nor anyone else, I think, are trying to convince you to use any particular cartridge if you are ever in the position to hunt grizzlies. If it ever does happen, use whatever you're comfortable with. The issue seems to be you, and a few others, are trying to convince others that it... -

I just use a hacksaw for all the cutting, but the cut ends are hidden inside the CF tube on mine. If you use a CF tube that fits inside the buffer tube, the ends of the buffer tube probably need to be cut a little longer. After that just carefully prep, fit and epoxy ends in and clean any excess. -

What does it take to kill a grizzly?
Yes, as mentioned, there are a couple of build lists at the start of the thread and now a bunch of others as well. The one on the grizzly is the first UL-UL 223 I built. The one on the moose and pictured on the scale in this thread is the latest 223... -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
Damn...I need to get my shit together. Most of mine (LC) usually seem to get split necks within, I'm guessing, 10 or so loadings, though I don't keep close track. This may be due to the brass, or more likely, the loads I run through them. -

Pretty sure...my rifles may get out a little more than yours. A little math here. Your experience with what you're espousing is 0. My experience with same is a positive integer. All positive integers are infinitely larger than zero. -

Well, you're right about one thing: My 223 does in fact feel like a BB gun, shooting deer, moose, black bears, grizzly, whatever...damn thing always feels like a BB gun. -

What personal experiences with the above has led you to your conclusion? How about dangerous game with a bow and arrow? Same same? -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
Depending on your load's pressure, 5 loadings would be a reasonable estimate. My 223 cases usually die from cracked necks rather than loose primer pockets, etc. Maybe would last longer if I annealed, but I generally don't. I don't think 223 based cases last as long as 308, 30-06 and others. My... -

What does it take to kill a grizzly?
Well, actually, you kind of do give on advice on topics in which you have no experience. You're doing it this entire post actually: You have no experience using the very bullets you're implying won't work in the scenarios you're presenting. You may have no experience in part because you've... -

What does it take to kill a grizzly?
Maybe there's a couple of things being conflated here. Many big game guides have lots of experience on kills, but generally with rifles in a fairly limited range, say typically from 7mm to 375. They know those work, and may know fairly well how well they work. Now, if you asked the same guides... -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
I've used the 55 TTSX on a few deer and a big black bear. They worked well...sort of...the black bear was a bit of a rodeo, but largely due to the first shot not being where a first shot should have been. -

The scopes I'm using are between 9.5 and about 12 oz and the same bases as you're using. Yours looks like a great setup to me. -

That's fantastic shooting...and you even killed the plate. I'm betting you're going to find you're taking them big heavy bolt rifles into the field less and less...you built a better mousetrap! -

The CF is about 1.3oz lighter than the Nylon6 version...and probably stronger as well(?).
