There is or was a brown bear guide in Alaska who used or maybe still uses, a .458 Win. Mag. for backup, with 400 or 350gr. TSX's, IIRC.
He may use a .375 or 9.3 nowadays, less recoil and will still do the job with good bullets and proper placement - even a 9mm will work, if necessary.
Read somewhere that some were going to the .416 Rem or .416 Ruger as well..not sure how accurate that is..but rumor on the grape vine..
