When I was a kid the 30-06 was fine for bears, now, suddenly it wont work, and that's with todays solid copper bullets, etc that we didnt have 50 years ago, we did have the partition thou.
I don't know who is saying a .30-06 won't work? a 220 grain bullet at or near 2,500 fps is pretty formidable. Still, some folks might desire more range.
