When running the 30-06, how did it perform when attempting to stop a charge.???
Here is the gist of my comments
The 30-06 works as well as the shooter does !
The famous Alaskan territorial hunter Jose Sarber was forced to kill many large problem bears and although he owned a 375 H&H he claimed he had more faith in his familiar 30-06.
The world record bear was killed on Kodiak with a 30-06
The famous Kodiak guides, bill Pinnell and Morris Talifson, recommended the 30-06
I have also killed numerous big bears with my 30-06, a few that had to be tracked after clients had wounded them, and that charged me.
With 200 or 220 gr Nosler partitions or 180 or 200 gr TSX bullets the 06 penetrates as well as the 375.
If you place your bullets correctly with a 30-06 it kills big bears very well
and if you don't place your bullets well it doesn't matter if you are shooting a 375, 416 or 458, you still have a wounded bear.
