with one load and one rifle like Grancel Fitz did with his Remington model 30 .30-06 and Winchester 180 Silvertips, what would your cartridge and load be? I would do it with a .270 Winchester and a 130 grain Partition. I realize it would likely be easier with a .300 mag but I think the .270 would make it a more interesting story.

Brown Bears on Unimak
338 Win mag with 250 grain accubonds or 225 grain Barnes TTX.
Just my view.

Fitz's choice would still work for me but I might switch from Silvertips to Partitions.

Just my view. For those, I'd use a 338 win mag as well...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My 35 Whelen with 225 gr Accubonds would do everything in NA easily. I wouldn't stay home if I used the 200 gr Accubond or TTSX either.

After seeing my 270 Win Montana throwing the 140 gr TSX throttle a big bodied bull elk at 250 yards this year I might just hang up my 338-06, 35 Whelen's and 9.3x62's.

300 WSM or 300 Win. Mag. 180gr TTSX bullet. I'd probably go this way. That combo has done it here and worldwide so many times there's no speculation involved. Would not have to be a TTSX but bet it works great.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
