I'm looking at a 30-06 for my next rifle. I live in Alaska, and plan on hunting brown bear at some point during my stay. I was wondering if anyone would feel underguned with a 30-06 loaded with quality 220 grain loads, nosler partition or barnes triple x. Adequate bear loads seem to be a controversial subject; does anyone have actual experience with brown bear hunting? Some people I'ved talked to are horified by the idea of bear hunting with an 06', while others feel in would be completly adequate. I currently carry a 12GA stuffed with slugs, when I'm out hiking; but I'd rather have a rifle for actual hunting. Thanks for your advice.
