Interior grizzly with my 30-06 Rem 700 and 200 gr Nosler Partitions. Have to admit that a couple of 225 gr Barnes TSX bullets from the guide's rifle ended up in the bear as well. There was quite a bit of shooting going on, in a hurry, at modest range.

I hunt all sorts of critters with the 30-06, so it seemed like a good choice for the grizzly hunt as well. Accurate & reliable. Still a favorite.

The black bears I've taken weren't huge, roughly 6 feet, pretty much normal for an adult boar where I hunt in Washington. Used either my 30-06 or a 375 H&H Ruger Number One on them. Ranges were from really close, like 15' out to over 300 yards.
