here in Minnesota most bears are shot over baits so shots are close ,less than 100 yards .for that reason the 30-06 is the better cartridge with the most power and good enough accuracy. don`t forget the 30-06 is been around for so many years ammo is easy to buy,find,borrow any place in the world too ! as far as copper ammo i will be using 180 gr. Nosler partitions in my 30-06 and that`s lead !
