Yup - on hunts on grizzly country it's wise to have a rifle that does well as a stopping rifle. .30-06 with very heavy bullets in an option, but really not a good one.

In fact, that sums up the .30-06 generally. It's an option, but really not a good one.


LB, please tell us how many grizzlies you've encountered while elk hunting. Also might want to list how many grizzlies you've seen killed, and list the various cartridges.
