Well 458 WIN ( Phil Shoemaker) says the 30-06 is entirely adequate for Brown bear SO....
The 30-06 is a BETTER all around cartridge.

For people who hunt brown bears,which ain't many.
But an awful lot of folks seem worried about running into them and want to know what sort of protection they need.
I will say if I hunted in brown bear country, I would look at things differently. Mainly, being more careful in camp, and trying to avoid running into them when out and about. And using a bigger bullet maybe.
