It seems to me it would be whatever you and your guide agree on. I'd be OK with a 30-06 and 200 grain Nosler Partitions, although I have a .338 Win Mag and might choose that with 225 grain TTSX or 250 grain Nosler Partitions. It's mostly a matter of personal preference, which is why we see wildly divergent opinions.
I've never hunted brown bears, although I've seen them when hiking in Alaska, so my opinion is mostly based on what I've read, and experiences hunting other species. I have hunted dangerous game in Africa, so that gives me a little concept of might be involved mentally, but I don't claim any expertise on this subject.
I'm simply stating my personal preferences based on limited knowledge and experience.
Having seen 338 win mag at 250 partitions on moose they could be about my last choice of bullets for bears.
