I would think Phil Shoemaker would have had a 30-06/bear charge experience or at least know, first hand, someone that had that experience. Maybe he will weigh in on it soon. I would be very interested myself to know how the 30-06 fares in a bear charge. I use my M70/06 in bear infested areas during drive hunts for boars. RJ
I am betting Phil could end a Bear charge with strong language.
When bears gather they talk about him with fear and trepidation, and the "stay away from Phil" memo goes out.
I'll write to him and get his experiences with the 06.
I've a sneaking suspicion he's slamed a few on comers with that number.
If he doesn't post, I'll share what I learn.
What he DID post was simple, "Get the 375 Ruger Alaskan and be done with it.!"
That said, I'd still like to hear from him concerning the 06.
