@Ranger30-06: I'm not insulting you; your own comments have made the point of proving that you don't know what you're talking about better than I ever could have done. Fact, .40 S&W will do the job on black bear...

@Ranger30-06: I'm not going to spend the day crawling the internet to prove you don't know what you're talking about. Cadzow shot the Polar with a .223. The Inuit have been using the .223 on brown, black and polar bears for decades. NO ONE who lives in the wilderness or an Alaskan village where...

AR-15 Kills Polar Bear in Interior Alaska... Polar bear killed near village in Interior Alaska By Mary Beth Smetzer Published Friday, March 28, 2008 A polar bear wandering around the outskirts of the Interior village of Fort Yukon, 250 miles inland from its normal coastal habitat, was...

.40 S&W stops Brown Bear Charge... By DOUG O'HARRA Anchorage Daily News (Published: May 25, 2004) Frank Bettine was walking his dog in the thick forest near his Rabbit Creek-area home about 9 p.m. Saturday when he heard a sound that raised the hair on the back of the neck. The distinct snap...

@Ranger30-06: You know what they say about opinions? Everybody has one... I'm not giving advise, just saying what will get the job done. 9mm will do it just fine. And I can appreciate your "opinion" on the subject; I can read ballistics tables, adventure novels and let my imagination run wild...

Marlin 30AS, .30-30... Coastal bear hunt, British Columbia, 2010. We spent most of the trip doing Captain Morgan poses and running around like scared little girls every time we saw a bear... ;-)

.40 S&W, .45 ACP and 9mm for bear, brown or black is just fine. Not to mention that handguns in those calibers provide excellent fire power potential, up to 20 rounds in 9mm. Bears aren't bullet proof. They aren't made out of kevlar or steel plate, just ask any big game bow hunter. Shoot what...

Versatility is why I own a magnum. My hunting/utility rifle is a Remington 700 ADL in .300 WM; not that I can even remember the last time I fired a factory load through it. I consider myself a rifleman and hand load each round typically to .270 or .308 standards and pack it with a full 220gr...

I voted yes. I carry lawfully so being on the side of the law I support those who are paid to enforce the law. Notifying an officer is just good courtesy and the safe thing to do. I was pulled over once for speeding and I had my Glock on me. This was before the law. The very first thing I did...

Thanks for the link. I've seen this info disseminated before and is very useful in helping to undue the myths associated with expanding bullets. 1) The United States is NOT a signatory to either the Hague or Geneva Conventions. The United States does in good faith abide by a number of the...

It was just some random thread that popped up on a Google search. :)

You prove my point exactly, Thanks :neener: Nice power point by the way. I like how they spun a lot of the info they're trying to present. It would be convincing if I didn't know any better. People like you usually try to resort to personal insults and questioning an individual's service...

A .308 or 30-06 will work just fine for elk. No real need for a "magnum" unless that's just your thing. Personally, I've harvested elk with my Marlin 30/30 and have never had a problem.

I can't agree more. Joes and ballistic chart Nerds have been complaining about the 5.56 for decades and will probably continue complain for some time to come. As a veteran and speaking from personal experience, the old 5.56 will kill a bloke as dead as a stone. That green tip penetrator ammo is...

Hi, My name is Andrew; US Army Infantry and Law Enforcement. I've been hunting since I was about 6. I've harvested; Dear, Alligator, Wild Pigs, Black Bear, Elk and all kinds of small critters. Not really into the sporting thing, I eat everything I shoot; except vermin (people included)...

He may want to consider a rifle that's not too heavy to hump, that he's not afraid to shoot and can shoot accurately. My advice would be to pick up a tried an true 30-06. There's a wide selection of rifles in various weights and styles as well as a wide availability 30-06 ammunition just about...

Is the .308 enough gun for moose, brown bear, and polar bear? Absolutely. Dear, Elk, Moose, Black, Brown and Polar Bear are NOT bullet proof, regardless of what you might read on the internet. The .308 will do the job just fine on any of them as well as the 30/30, .303, 30-06 and bow and arrow...
