The 30-06 was the simple most popular Alaskan guide rifle for many years and was plenty for the world record Kodiak bear. Having killed a few big bears myself using 200 and 220 gr Partitions with it I know for a fact it will do the job.
And the 300 Mag throws the same bullets a little faster.
As Sitka points out, even stout bullets like the 168 gr TSX should work just as well .
