Saying a 12 gauge can kill a brown bear is like saying a .375 h&h can kill a hummingbird, while both statements are true, neither are optimal

I have only one caliber: 7mm Magnum.

Took my first deer with it two days ago .

At the age of 34 it took me long enough, but damn it feels good!

Pretty sure the 7mag could take anything 2 or 4 legged in North America?

.22 because one time somewhere somebody killed a grizzly with a .22. You know how to get rid of an Ex wife in Alaska? You wrap her in bacon and leave her tied to the front porch and get on the roof with a .375 h&h.

I'd think a 12 gauge slug would be pretty damn effective on even the biggest of bears inside 50 yards, no?
