the 270 win is ideal for hunting FOR ME, but I'm scared of coming across a Grizzly..

I got my Brennekes from Accuracy Plus in Peterborough Ont. An alternate solution might be to give the Brenneke style slugs made by Prairie Shot in Carberry MB a try. I haven't tried them myself as yet, but the fact that this is a Canadian manufacturer is a nice touch.

Boomer,

while not the answer i ll always better have Brenneke if i have to use a shotgun ... but for sure if some company is now making something similar why not ...

all the best,

Phil
 
I ordered the RWS Rotweil Exact from Corlanes and had them within 2 weeks. I then ordered a case from Nechacko Outdoors and they now have them waiting for me to pick up. Try asking your local store to order them from North Sylva.
 
Challenger also makes slugs which are similar to a Brenneke. They're a good product and Canadian.

Those slugs are available from BPI as a reloading component. They call them their DGS slug and I have a box of 25 upstairs. They're 1 1/8 oz and they make a 1 3/8 oz slug now too. As you can see they are available in loaded ammunition too. Only problem is BPI only publishes load data in their own manuals that I didn't buy when I bought them so they've been sitting. They also need new or trimmed hulls and a roll crimp tool. I'll get around to loading them one day but it's gonna cost over $100 to gather everything I'll need. Not worth it when I've got a guide gun and plenty of .45-70 components.

You still don't understand the difference between REAL and POTENTIAL. The potential danger of the sun exploding is kind of huge. The real danger is not worth worrying about.

REAL is the word I keep using. The fact that something has a large potential danger does NOT make being constantly prepared for it rational. Only preparations for REAL dangers is rational. Recognizing the difference between real and potential risk is not denial of the potential; it is just being rational. If you look into the Survival and Disaster Prep forum you will see all sorts of examples of preparation for potential disasters that just aren't realistically likely.

A breath of fresh air, thank you .last year more folks were killed by firearms being used for bear defence than bears.
Tip: remove your scope. during insertion it may cause irritation.
.270 killing every thing it hits inside 500yrds with proper shot placement since its inception.
 
2 times in last three years ive had grizz problems ,3 years ago one tried to take half the moose never got it this year one took a hind quarter and bluff charged us at 30 feet,,,,,,,,ill be careful crossing the road
 
Common sense, situational awareness, a cool head, and god forbid you have to, that gun better be an extension of your own arms. Not a 10 shots a year thing. The old boy with the 30/30 he's hunted with for 50 years will be better off than someone with a .416 that shoots it twice a year.

That's my theory anyway. Worth what you paid for it.
 
Being From Australia, I don't have the problems you guys have with the Grizzly Bear, Although we have a problem with the Drop Bear, Unfortunatly for those who find them selves in Drop bear Country don't carry any further protection apart from the Rifle they are hunting with, Generally the Drop bear will give NO Warning what so ever and its ON you within seconds of launching its Attack.


Excuse my lack of experience with this, But wouldn't a Pistol/Revolver of some sort with 6+ shots of .45+ Calibre attatched to the Hip, be a good option?

I hunt with a 270 or 6.5x55 and would shoot a grizz with either one but keep a defender on my back just to because no scoped rifle is as good as 4 12g slugs at 12 feet.
