I believe a smart guy somewhere close has made comments about the 30-06. I watched my son kill a brown bear with a 25-06 with 80gr bullets. He made 2 lethal shots and the bear had no choice but to die.
No doubt about the 270’s ability to kill a big bear…..but, not the ideal “stopping cartridge”! Simply put…..there are others far better for “stopping”! memtb
Everyone involved knew that. The bear never twitched after my first shot.
I’m glad that the “stopping” power of the 270 wasn’t tested! memtb
