Creedmoor for Brown Bear Hunt

I didnt realize this would've been a great thread to read sitting on the toilet.

With a light on it too!

If you could snag some...A 1301 with some tungsten buckshot would be pretty nasty too.

Tungsten is no joke, that penetrates.

Ive been real close to getting some buck.

My HD/truck guns may or may not allegedly have some tungsten BB Im also fairly certain it'll go thru glass like butter, and if im feeling creative maybe a pong shot off of the concrete would probably do the trick too .

No doubt a singular 375 can do more damage per round then a 556

Can, but not necessarily will. A heavily constructed .375 bullet at moderate speed is likely not going to do as much damage as a 5.56 round of proper construction at very high speed. How many big "stopping" bullets did mufasa soak up in that video? I bet it was a few.

I've shot a lot of deer with a .338 win mag, that wasn't a joke earlier. The damage from a 230gr bonded bullet at 2700 fps is usually far far less than is typical from a .270 with 130gr soft points. Sure, the .338 bullet probably killed more trees behind the deer than the .270 did, but that doesn't count for anything.

If I'd be headed out on a grizzer bear hunt I'd probably take my .338 because why else have one? If somebody handed me a 6.5 creedmoor with decent bullets, I'd gleefully go out and shoot a bear with it.

Africa, at least for cats(predators), will have a revolution with an AR and 30 rounds of 77’s lol. The elephants and buffs would need a little more sd and less expandable bullets as cns is your only hope anyway but who’s to say a 6.5 with some manlicker level bullets wouldn’t also end things faster due to control and rate? Be fun to find out haha. I’d sign up but I’d want a buddy or two.

I’m not sure which is more flamboyant, dudes who measure their manhood based on recoil or people who pontificate about an all around cartridge choice based off a $25k brown bear hunt they are never going to go on.
