John, as you know my clients have killed well over a hundred big bears and I have had to assist on a number of them. Shot placement is always primary but I rank penetration second, followed by expansion and you know the new Nosler bullets have had the partition moved forward and now penetrate pretty close to the TSX bullets.
I have witnessed bears that died quickly with hits from virtually all the bullets, including 300 gr Sierra BTs but my personal favorite, and the one that I have seen give the most consistent and quick results, is the 270 gr TSX.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
