[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1602466, member: 879"] I hunted with .30-06 for many years until one year my rifle needed to have a part replaced and a friend at deer camp loaned me his Ruger M77 .270 Winchester. I killed two bucks with it that year. I still have great respect for the .30-06 cartridge, but when it came time for me to upgrade, I bought a Winchester Model 70 in .270 WSM, due partly to my positive experience with the .270 Winchester. The rest is a history of improved shooting and deer hunting for me. Have had great success at all ranges out to 334 Yards laser-ranged distance with that rifle (after recrowning and Acra-glass bedding) over the years with Fusion 150 grain cartridges. Don't know if I would choose it for Grizzly Bear, but I do have a lot of confidence in that Rifle/.270 caliber/ammo combo. Truth is, there is probably no critter on earth it couldn't kill--that is, if I hit it just behind the ear.;) [/QUOTE]
