A well placed bullet will accomplish many things. A big gun and gut shot accomplishes lost game or dead hunters when its Grizzlies. They dont care about calibre and dont take prisoners. From what Ive read. They scare the shiX out of me but theyre a beatiful animal. I would hunt them with the utmost respect, they deserve.
IF a new Grizzly hunt, what gun

I love the 8mms My 325 actually surprised me a bit. I can drive a 196/200 grain bullet to 3000 fps safely, and I have shot 1¾" groups at 300 meters
with the 196 Norma Oryx. The Elk really hate this combo,
The 8mm Rem Mag needs no introduction. Too bad it is a bit of an orphan. With Reloder 26, I get 3100 [+or- 10]
with the 220 A-Frame. Definitely an effective rifle for bigger, tougher game. Dave.
One of the top 5 polar bears killed was one that choked on an Inuit womans fur mitt. Yup case history sonny boi. Theres also case history of huge bears being killed with .22 rimfires. Dont really think that or a 22 hornet would be my choice but Id love to see you pursue either of em with either of the choices.

My late father chased a grizzly all over the countryside years ago when he was working in Granisle. He never did get that bear. Even though conventional wisdom is that a 7mm isn't big enough for grizzlies, I'm still taking the rifle that he carried on those hunts.
I think you may want to do some reading on Walter D.M Bell and how small calibers can take large animals. With small calibers, or archery equipment, you can’t take the “only” or “best” shot you have you must wait for and only take those with an extremely high percentage to kill within your equipment’s limitations. Doing so doesn’t limit caliber necessarily, mainly opportunities. Being inside 20yrds on a grizzly only holding a bow and arrow is an exhilarating feeling….

200-220 grains at 3000-3100fps? Yeah that aught to do it!

All you need is a .22 long in a single shot rifle.
