But if you stuck well made 150 gr bullet from a .308 into a grizzly's lungs, you have the makings of a nice rig. Lots of them have ben killed with a .270 too.
I shoot 180 grains in my AR10... It was the 300 Mag that my buddy brought over to compare to the 308 that I was thinking of.
Still, I thought a 30-06 was larger for some reason..
Tells ya what I know about ammo...
But there is no way you're gonna tote a .50 BMG on a hunt. Too heavy and too cumberson.
Ok.. I'll settle on the 308 then... something belt fed will suffice...
