Kinda surprised that Phil hasn't posted. I know for sure at least one of his clients killed a BIG bear with 150-grain Partitions from the .270 Winchester either last spring or the year before, and another guy did the same with a 7mm RM the same spring, but I couldn't swear to the bullet. (The guy who used a .270 took two shots, one which anchored but didn't drop the bear, and another that finished the job.)

Always amazing how many think there's vast difference in the way good bullets kill big game. A bullet that penetrates the vitals does the job, regardless of the name on the bullet's box.
