The 11 best cartridges for downing Canada’s big game animals

GRIZZLY BEARS

The only grizzly I’ve taken fell neatly to a well-placed .300 Win. Mag. bullet, but I understand that in thick cover you’d be better served by something with a little more stopping power. So, I’ll select the .338 Win. Mag. It offers the appropriate balance of effective range, bullet weight and frontal area required to handle any of Canada’s grizzlies.
