I am assuming you are meaning a 7mm Remington Mag. and Black Bear. If that is the case, then either will do fine for bear. For the 7mm, quality (Partition, Barnes X, A-Frame, Fail Safe, etc.) 160 gr bullets should do fine. For the .30-06, quality 165 or 180 bullets will do the trick.

Either one is easily up to the job, but my choise would be the 30-06. The rifle will be lighter, and easier to carry than the 7 mag..

I like 160's in the 7mm, and 180's in the 06. a 165 grain Nosler partition would work well in the 06 too.

The caribou in the picture is one of (3) i took that day, with my 12 ga/30-06 combination gun useing 165 Noslers.

Gorgeous 'bou DM! Where did you get him?

No le Hace (There will be no significant difference in either gun) Pick the one you are most accurate with.

Have you seen the .50 Beowolf? The stats are awesome!

j3,

I shot the pitctured caribou, and two other bulls on the Alaska Peninsula. All three were for the freezer for my self, and a friend. We also took home some "beef", off an island that had wild cattle on it. The goverment wanted them "removed", so i thought i'd "help them out" a bit!! :&gt

I would prefer the 3006 for bear given the coice. Nice bou DM, very pretty animal.

Flip a coin. Good luck.

The .30-06 because of the greater frontal area. The bigger heavier bullets of the 30 caliber win every time over any 7mm. With bear your shots will come close and a long 220 grain would do the trick. I use 180s for everything in my 06. The 7mm Remington Magnum is not the dragon slayer people think it is.
