I was poking around on the internet webby thing the other day. My dream hunt would be a CO Elk hunt or an Alaska hunt.. So when I am bored I like daydream about the hunt and try to decide which rifle I would take and I stumbled on this thread.

While we southerners argue on if the 30-06, or 270 or 7mm Mag is the best choice for our 150lb whitetails, those that actually hunt in AK are contemplating using the puny 7mm-08 on Grizzly Bears. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: How could this be? How could anyone think this puny little "youth round" is adequate for Bears??

Please note that apparently the 7mm-08 is not legal for Bison though.. :lol:
