I'm not saying a 30cal won't work, I'm saying the 6.5's and 7mm's are a better option. They offer excellent performance with less recoil.

They do perform well but maybe not quite that well. I wouldn't be packing either one on a dedicated Brown Bear or Grizzly hunt. That's a job for the heavy haulers .A heavy bonded core or Partition in .35 cal or larger at medium velocity brings a lot more ability to the party as I see it. That scenario is where high SD really comes in to play... larger antlered or horned Game to a lesser extent. Good thing we all have choices eh ?
