All I know is all I ever carried in brown bear country was a 30/06 stuffed with 200gr Partitions. Of course that was prior to the internet, so I was obviously less informed...
Never felt bad about lugging a 30/06 in Kodiak or SE. I've been in on a brown bear killing on the C in ABC and he died without any fuss. Friend was using a 30/06 too.
Hard to believe I survived all those years.
Well, obviously the bears were sorely misinformed years ago as well. Unfortunately for us now the bears are aware they can't be harmed by anything less than about a .505 Gibbs.
