Ok thanks all. I think I will be happy with 200 gr. Partitions or trophy bonded. I’ll get both and see who shoots
Perfect and I bet if Phil Shoemaker chimed in that would be one he would recommend. If on a sheep or caribou hunt I would lean towards the 165 mono. Either way if you really need it the 30-06 will feel like a pea shooter until the bear goes down, then it will feel alright. Been close but haven't had to kill a bear under duress.
