I have spoken with a few guides and they all have their preferences about what they recommend to stop a Grizz. The majority recommend calibers in the 400 magnum range, and the rest state nothing less than a 375H&H (even using these calibers they state that they have to put 2 or 3 more rounds into the bear to make sure its down). I have looked at the guide gun and really like it. I know that the factory loads are not maximized for what the round is capable of. And I also know that Marlin is supposed to come out with a lever action chambered for the 450 Marlin sometime this year.

Thanks
