Phil Shoemaker just forwarded this photo to me, of one of his brown bear clients who used 150-grain Nosler Partitions with a .270 Winchester:

Phil had these comments:
"He is a Colorado rancher and serious hunter who can shoot. On the first shot from 120 yards the bear spun to bite at the wound and a second hit in the same place dropped it in his tracks."

“Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.”
