Hunting & Fishing shot a 5.5-6ft bear with the 338L

[Jim the Plumber]

Got into some black bear today. Saw 3 with this one being the largest. He came out and started feeding at 374 yards, ~20% down slope.
Dieled up 1.3 mils, lined up on his right shoulder with my 338 Lapua and sent him a 300 grain MK. Knocked him sidwas and he stumbled about 15 feet, rolled over and was dead before he knew it.
