I’ve loaded 308 Norma for a friend’s Husqvarna rifle he used for caribou & elk. Shot very well with 180 grail in TTSX & max load of IMR 4350 but he likes his less stout loads, mine were 100% on 4 caribou he’s killed several elk with his loads & multiple times in Grizzly country.
This is a capable modern elk rifle & would work for Bear if needed. As a primary bear gun I’d go bigger than 35 caliber myself.
