Dead is dead. Same goes for Griz, it's not on my mind as a game animal in Alberta, but a 308 will still handly kill one i'm sure, not my first choice, and I haven't gone back to reread the op, but pretty sure it said most efficient with something to do with high powder prices, which begs the answer of what can do the most with the least.

I'll stand by the 308 as my answer.
