Sounds like he needs more convincing.

The 06 has probably taken more elk and most Alaskan game than any other cartridge!
With 180/200s it is right at the starting loads of the 300 mags.
With the 208 ELDX starting at 2650, at 700 yards it has 1500 ft-lbs of energy. That's the typical min for elk.
Is supersonic to 1600 yards.
I love the 270, it's best with a 150 ABLR and can get to 500 yards, but it's not an 06, it stops at the 150s with the 10 twist.
7mm is good but they stop at about the 180s.

If your in big bear country I think you want an 06 with 200s!
But definitely not anything below 7mm
