I read that study. It was done in the days when not many factories loaded "premium bullets."
I know somebody pretty well who has shot a number of charging grizzlies with both the .30-06 and .458 Winchester, as well as some other rounds, and so far hasn't been mauled, or even scratched. (Or at least he hadn't when I saw him in February, but it's bear season in Alaska right now.) While I strongly suspect my friend would choose the .458 over the .30-06, I was just wondering why Conrad could be so firm in his opinion that the .30-06 would "not work" on charging grizzlies.
There's also some mild curiosity about Conrad's recommendation of a .458 double.
