I don't know who that guide was as I prefered the 500 gr Hornady bullets for many years, then after Finn Aagaard gave me a box of Jack Carter's new TB bullets I used them. I eventually tried and liked the 400 X as well as the 400 Swifts and Kodiaks.
I have stated that I have never had a bear stay on it's feet when I hit it well with my 458 - but even big bullets still have to be well placed.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
