My whole life I have only hunted whitetail deer, but now I am dreaming of sheep hunts in the mountains (where there are grizzly bears). Maybe elk, moose, etc....but the grizz is in the back of my mind.
I would be with a guide 1x1, so not sure if they typically carry bear medicine or not?
Should I get something bigger or just save my pennies for the hunt and gear? Have seen many threads about 260/270 is enough for everything but grizz, "swedes use 6.5 for moose", "jack o'connor", etc.......but the grizz thing is enough to keep me thinking about larger bores.
What is your advice and if you recommend I get another caliber, specifically what caliber and why? FYI, not interested in .30-06...no offense to the round or anyone else, it's just a personal thing where that caliber reminds me of someone, and I'd rather not have one.
I have thought about .338 win mag and 300 WSM....but have also seen negative comments on those as well in reference to grizz/brown
