308 vs 270 for Michigan Bear.
One of my MC brothers just left and was asking what my recommendation was for a Michigan bear hunt. He was at a Outdoors Sports show and began talking to a guy who lives up there and is wanting to do some trading.
This guy is willing to take my buddy and his wife up there for a bear hunt and stay at his place for a hog/deer hunt in So. Missouri on property my buddy owns.
He owns a .308,.270 and a .300 Win Mag. He is going to shoot the 300 and was wanting to know if the .308 for his wife would have enough to cleanly take a bear from up there. I will be loading for this excursion. He is not sure if she could shoot the .270 without issues. She has not hunted large game before and shot the 270. I dont know if they will be stand hunting or stalking.
Whatcha think? Thanks.
