Of the ones that you mentioned, I' d choose the " 06. However, you don' t say what kind of bear. I' m assuming black...and the 06 would be fine.

frizzellr,

I highly doubt it. Well, maybe Remington' s short mag line, but not Winchester' s.[8D]

RE: .270, 30.06, 270WSM
 

.30-06 is the way to go. I' d choose the it over the 7mm mag for elk and moose. It may not get there as fast, but it has a greater bullet diameter.

bearhuntr, I said the short magnum CRAZE will be forgotten, not that they will go away. But people will wise up to the hype and go back to the old standbys.

RE: .270, 30.06, 270WSM
 

Go with the 06' , i agree with frizzellr the short magnum craze will fade. No offense to anyone who owns one.

RE: .270, 30.06, 270WSM
 

I have a 270 wsm no offense taking but id go with a 30-06 sense elk,moose, and bear are mentioned.

...taken from an earlier post:

I completely agree with you, friz, I just saw your post and was reminded of how much you were anti-.30-30, because it was an outdated round ;) It made me smile to see you pro-progress in rifles in one thread, and anti in another.

The ' 06 is a more widely-used round, if price and availability factor into your decision. If they don' t, I wouldn' t mind using the WSM. Otherwise, the ' 06 all the way. I wouldn' t put the .270 in the same category.

RE: .270, 30.06, 270WSM
 

The same category as a .270 WSM or a 30.06?? Interesting theory!

FL/GA Hunter, I don' t dislike the 30-30 Win because it is old. I dislike it because of its limited range, inferior ballistics and marginal accuracy. I also dislike it because it is the first thing that is pushed on a kid or a non-knowledgable shooter as the " perfect deer cartridge" or a " great brush buster" . I used to live in the middle of a hunting club and would get called to bring the dogs when someone lost a deer. I tracked many a mile through the Big Thicket because of the 30-30 and the 223 so I have a healthy dislike for both. Within 150 yards it works. Not great, but it works. Anyways, I digress.
