Get the soft point. It should be in stock.

Here are some options. Any of the soft points, preferably the heavier ones should be appropriate.

Yeah get SP ammo. It's very easy to find. FMJ is a no-go for hunting.

Or consider bonded ammo. You really want to make a least one deep hole, really two. If the SP deforms or does it job too fast you may have a shallow wound and spend the rest of the day tracking. Everybody views differently, but for me it's hardcast from a 35 remington

It dont matter, 30-06 and 7.62X54R hve the same effect on Bears.
I have caught Dozens of Black, and Brown Bears with both. I currently us a Moain nagant in the Finnish M-39 version and all before it die.
Brown Bear or Barnul Brands of ammo, as well as Winchester load for the 7.62X54R, and EVERYONE loads for 30-06.
Use either with total confidance.
If your using a Mosin Nagant that has a "SA" in a round cornerd square, its a Finish Army property stamp, on the side where the barrel meets the reciver, also, look for a capital "D" stamp as well. The Finns rebuilt Mosins , some with original .310 caliber barrels as teh M-24, later into the M-27 and the M-28 version with a .308 mesurement, but the "D" stamp indicates that the rifle was brought up to spec by armoers, to shoot russian.310-.311, so the Finns could issue captured russian ammo. The final Finn Mosin rebuilds were the M-39 series, and they have .310 barrels.
Theres no danger, but if theres no "SA" in a round cornerd box, then it was never Finish issue or a .308, and its not a big deal anyway.This is sometimes confusing, but when shooting, it dosent matter.
Good luck.
