Just out of curiosity, does anyone think the 7mm Rem Mag acceptable for brown bear? It's generally not mentioned in brown bear discussions, nut the 30-06 gets a fair amount of consideration. I tend to think anything the 30-06 can do, the 7mm Rem Mag can do a little better since it drives higher SD bullets faster, along with generally higher BC values. A good 175 should penetrate better than a 30 cal 180gr version of a given bullet style. Perhaps there's something to be said for bullet diamter, and a 30 cal being a better choice? I'd like to do on a hunt with Phil in a few years, and am just thinking what I might take for my rifle...7mm rem Mag, or set up a 30-06 or 300 Win Mag. I'm probably overthinking it, but that's what rifle loonies do lol
