[QUOTE="2ndson, post: 2251518, member: 114275"] The 45-70 would be fine for bears. You can dern near load them to 458 Win specs in the right rifle, but thats not really necessary. Figure it out, the 338 win mag, its quite popular for big bears in Alaska, the 300 grn 45-70 in a marlin shoot it about as fast. Dont know if I'd complain much about the trejectory, lots of buffalo were killed with them at 1000 yards or such. I spent 22 years in alaska, in bear country I carried a 375 H&H, but the only bear I killed was with a 7mm Rem Mag. [/QUOTE]
