I use a Browning BAR in 30-06 shooting 180 grn Nosler Ballistic Tips.

I just got this gun after hunting with a 6.5x55 for years. I've just always wanted a Browning BAR and this comming season I plan to do some black bear hunting here in NW Arkansas and figured the odd 6 would be a much better caliber for bear. It also gives me a lot more versitility than the 6.5. Also, unlike the Swead, there are a gazillion different bullets available in 30-06. It's a reloaders dream and I am reloading for it so I plan to spend the summer finding the load she likes the best.

I haven't got to hunt with the BAR yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.
